Hi David ,
Help! I’m not sure what I did or didn’t do correctly. When I mixed the wet and dry ingredients, the mixture stuck to my hands like taffy . I had such a trying time rolling dough into balls . I read another comment which said to chill dough overnight. Is that the case?
I love ginger molasses cookies and I’d like to make them for the holidays . Can you help me ?
Best,
Kathleen

Just made these cookies. I followed the recipe exactly except I used a GF flour mix. I refrigerated the dough overnight before baking. The texture and bake are perfect, but both my partner and I agreed there is a bit too much baking soda in the recipe. We can taste the aftertaste in the final product. It’s not enough to effect the bake (rise fast and collapse), but you can taste it. When I looked at the recipe, I thought 1.5 tsps was a lot for a batch of dough this size. But I decided to proceed as written.

I was having a hankering for these type of cookies today and they’re oh so good!
This recipe is a keeper. The spice amount seemed like a lot but it works!!

These were so tasty and easy to make. The soft texture and ginger flavor were just what I was looking for—thanks for sharing!

Just made these with GF flour and they’re perfect! They’re soft, a pretty crackle on top, and have a great flavor. Thank you!

I can use any type, coconut, almond, tapioca, etc, or should it be an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix.you just went on a road trip and life happens! I could never forget about your blog. I find that I need to add another quarter cup of butter in order to make these stick together when I roll them. You know, coconut flour, which requires far more liquid in order to play nice in recipes than most other flours.

Hi! Would it be possible to use whole wheat flour/almond flour/oat flour instead of white flour?
And can I use maple syrup instead of molasses?
And baking powder instead of baking soda?
Thanks!
