Soft & Chewy Ginger Cookies | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 Soft and chewy ginger cookies that are gluten-free and vegan, are like little pillows of ginger joy! When holiday cookie baking is underway, you will want to have this recipe in your arsenal! The perfect healthy recipe to have for dessert this season!

Let the cookie season commence! You are in for some great cookie recipes this month so prepare yourselves. This blog has been lacking in desserts for for too long and I've been trying to remedy that as much as possible. By the time we get to 2016, you'll have plenty of healthy, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly desserts and baked goods to put your sweet-loving heart at ease for awhile. Even though I have other non-sweet recipes I'm dieing to share right now, I'm trying to listen to the requests for goodies!

When holiday cookie baking is underway, you will want to have this recipe in your arsenal! The perfect healthy recipe to have for dessert this season!

I'm starting you off with a simple recipe, something to ease you in to the standouts I have planned. Now, ginger is far from my favorite spice, but for some reason, I've always had this thing about gingerbread or ginger baked goods. I hesitate to call these cookies gingerbread cookies since they are much more subtle (you can tell by the color) and they are definitely not in the gingersnap category as they are, well, soft and chewy! That's the other thing. I much rather prefer soft cookies (and chewy), as noted here and here. I want my cookies to be pillows. Pillows that lead to sweet cookies dreams.

When holiday cookie baking is underway, you will want to have this recipe in your arsenal! The perfect healthy recipe to have for dessert this season!

(Throw back to my cinnamon ornaments I made for the family last year!)

I'm all about crumbs, but soft crumbs. But for cookies, the whole thing should be soft and bonus points if it's ultra chewy. I've discovered the hidden baking secret to perfect chewy gluten-free baked goods too. That is...arrowroot starch! You'll notice that I use it in a lot of my baking and in all the cookie recipes to come. When you bake gluten-free and vegan and then you find some magic that guarantees successful results, you run with it! Arrowroot just gives baked goods such perfect chewy binding properties. With no gluten to be the sticky stretchy protein in your baked goods, arrowroot really makes the best easy sub!

So soft chewy ginger cookies had to happen this year. Bonus, since I'm calling them ginger cookies, you can make them any time of year and not feel "weird" if you're one of those "seasonal" people. I'm not. I'll have pumpkin pie and gingerbreadΒ in May if I want! These cookies are perfect in the morning with some coffee or at night with some tea. They're healthy enough to eat a few at once, not too sweet, but just right. I'm a big fan of heating these types of cookies up a bit in the microwave too. It adds to the cookie pillow joy!

I used some lovely light amaranth flour and my main squeezeΒ buckwheat flour in these cookies as well. Some lovely whole grains with ginger and some warming spices, plus a hint of molasses makes these the perfect ginger cookies for me. Even if you're not too big of a ginger or gingerbread fan, these cookies are subtle enough in their taste that I think you may be stocking up on some ginger a bit more often πŸ˜‰

    Neither gingersnaps nor any kind of ginger cookie is a classic over here but we certainly started baking some traditional German cookies already. Also, chewy cookies are where it’s at. You’ve got me curious about arrowroot now. I don’t usually bake gluten-free but I’m up for experimentation.
    Have you been using erythritol in baking a lot before? I have a bag sitting around that I bought for a bit of experimenting ages ago but find the taste a little … different. Hence why I’m unsure about going ahead and subbing it for regular sugar in traditional recipes.

    Reply
    • Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine

      December 02, 2015 at 3:01 pm

      If you want soft and chewy, USE ARROWROOT!
      I just started this summer with the erythritol since I started doing tons of big baking projects. It's almost 1 to 1 with sugar so much easier to convert than stevia (even though stevia will always be #1). But I also like that this is actually granulated.
