Gluten Free Molasses Cookies 2012

Submitted by andypandy

"I made these at Christmas and they are a hit in our household. I posted this on another site and forgot to post here, unbeleivable as this is always my first stop looking for my recipes.So now here it is. These are time tricky to bake, so watch carefully as with all gluten free they seem to brown so fast and the next thing you know gone just a tad to far. So I suggest that you time back a test cookie, to see how they spread and bake up, then cool to adjust the baking time also for final crispness."
