Gluten-Free Eggless Gingersnap Cookies
Gluten-free Gingersnap cookies – Perfect choice to start off winter mornings
The delightful explosion of spices with a hot cup of tea is a perfect treat for cold winter mornings. After experimenting with a variety of flours and ratios, I’m happy to share this simple recipe for making Gluten-free Ginger snap cookies. This recipe uses easily available at-home ingredients.
What makes this the best Gluten-free Ginger snap cookie recipe?
- Maple Syrup: I’ve used Maple syrup in this recipe as maple syrup not only contains less sugar than molasses but it is also richer in calcium, iron and potassium when compared to molasses.
- Eggless: This recipe can easily be made vegan by switching out the butter with oil. Initially, I was apprehensive to try making gluten-free cookies eggless because I didn’t want to compromise on the crunchy texture. However, this recipe truly checks all the boxes!
- Choice of Spices: You may often find Gingersnap cookie recipes with just ginger powder, however, this recipe provides a unique twist by adding the freshly grated ginger. Fresh ginger gives you a more natural flavor of ginger. I’ve used Clove powder for additional warmth and kick, you may also switch/ augment it with nutmeg powder.
- Sweet: This recipe makes mildly sweet cookies. Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking.

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free flour
- 2 tbsp Sorghum flour (jowar)
- ¼ tsp Baking soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
Spices
- 1 tsp Ginger powder
- ½ inch Ginger
- ½ tsp Clove powder
- ¼ tsp Crushed black pepper
Wet Ingredients

Instructions
Making the dough
- Take a large mixing bowl. Sieve together the dry ingredients and set aside.
- Grate the ginger and add it to the mix. Add all the spices and whisk together.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the softened butter and brown sugar for about 1-2 minutes. Add the vegetable oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
- Whisk together the wet ingredients in to the large bowl by adding in thirds making sure they are mixed well. Form the mix in to a soft dough. If the dough is a little dry, add 1-2 tbsp of warm milk to form the dough.
Resting the dough
- Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes.
Bake the cookies
- Preheat the oven to
350 °F - Take out the dough and use a tablespoon to spread out dollops of the dough on to a baking tray lined with silicon sheet or parchment paper. Making sure they are about an inch and a half apart.
- Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes (until their crust is golden). Turn off the oven and leave the cookies in the oven for about 5 minutes.
- Take the cookies out on a cooling rack and let them cool for about 15 minutes. This is the most difficult step of the recipe 🙂
