Gingersnap Cookies

Well, one of my last 31 for 21 posts . . . 

I haven't made these for some time, but they were really good and were gone when I took them to a mother's day party once. For more pictures of the cookies, see a post I did on my other blog.

This is a recipe I tweaked from allrecipes.com.

Gingersnap Cookies (Gluten-free)

4 c brown rice flour (you could also use white rice or some other acceptable flour)

2 t xantham gum

2 T ginger powder

4 t baking soda

2 t cinnamon

1 t salt

1 1/2 cups lard (or shortening or butter)

2 c sugar

2 eggs

1/2 c molasses

cinnamon sugar to roll the cookie balls in

Mix first 6 ingredients together. Mix the rest (minus the cinnamon sugar) and then add to dry mix. Roll into balls, roll in cinnamon sugar and flatten with your hand a little bit. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. They should be brown with cracks on the tops.
