How to Make Gluten Free Candied Ginger Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large egg yolks one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in ¼ cup milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a soft dough forms. If needed, add a bit more milk for desired consistency.
  7. Roll dough into 2-teaspoon sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  8. Place cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are cracked.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free candied ginger cookies!
