How to Make Gingerbread Men Gluten And Casein Free

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 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 ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup unsalted butter (softened), ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 large egg. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Wrap the dough loosely in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. Lightly flour a clean work surface with gluten-free flour. Roll out the chilled dough to your desired thickness (about ¼ inch for a crispier cookie, or thicker for a chewier cookie).
  7. Use cookie cutters to cut out gingerbread men shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Decorate with your favorite icing, sprinkles, raisins, or other candies. (Icing recipe: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons softened spread, 1-2 teaspoons soy milk).
