Preparation
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 350˚F.
STEP 2
Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, xanthan gum (if needed), cloves, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Mix well.
STEP 3
Using a food processor or pastry cutter (or even your fingers or fork), cut in butter until mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.
STEP 4
In a small bowl, beat sugar, egg and molasses. Add to dry ingredients and mix until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Form into a flat ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for an hour.
STEP 5
Dust some parchment paper with gluten free flour or confectioner’s sugar. Unwrap and place dough onto dusted paper and dust the top as well. (The use of parchment is optional, but can help with sticking)
STEP 6
Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out desired shapes. Take scraps and re-roll, to get a few more cookies.
STEP 7
Bake for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Decorate as desired.
