How to Make Gingerbread Cookies Gluten Free

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in ¼ cup golden syrup and 1 large egg until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
  6. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 5mm (¼ inch) thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
  8. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once completely cool, decorate with your favorite royal icing or hard-setting icing.
