Ingredients
  

  • 240 g gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 180 g gluten-free all-purpose baking flour (1-to-1 style)
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1.25 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 tsp ground ginger
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp ground cloves
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 85 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 250 g dark brown sugar, packed
  • 10 ml vanilla extract
  • 60 ml molasses
  • 180 g powdered sugar (gluten-free if needed)
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 15 ml milk or dairy-free milk Add more if needed for consistency.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and molasses until smooth and glossy.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until a thick dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place about 6 cookies on each baking sheet. Lightly flatten each mound with the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
  7. While the cookies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add more milk a little at a time until the glaze reaches a smooth, drizzle-friendly consistency.
  8. Let the cookies cool slightly, then drizzle or spread the glaze over the tops. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking!
