Instructions

• Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown rice flour, white rice flour, tapioca flour, sweet rice flour, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, ground cloves, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon. Whisk them together until well blended.
• Step 3: Prepare Wet Ingredients

  In another bowl, mix the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg and dark molasses, mixing until incorporated.
• Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
• Step 5: Chill the Dough (optional)

  Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes for better texture.
• Step 6: Roll and Coat

  Once chilled, scoop dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in additional sugar until coated.
• Step 7: Bake

  Place balls on a baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and tops are crinkled.
• Step 8: Cool

  Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
