List of Ingredients

2/3 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup sweet rice flour
1/3 cup tapioca starch
1 TBL cinnamon
1 tsp ginger (use more for a cookie with a real ginger bite)
2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup molasses
2 TBL water


Recipe

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and then add the oil, molassses and water.

Mix well, adding more tapioca starch as needed to make a soft dough that can be kneaded.

Roll out on a tapioca floured board to a thickness of 1/4". Cut out with gingerbread people cutters, dipping into tapioca starch after each use.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven on ungreased cookie sheets for approximately 14 minutes. Remove from pan while cookies are hot, cool on a wire rack. Cookies will be slightly chewy. Adjust cooking time to your preference for doneness.
