Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Molasses Ginger Cookies

Molasses Ginger Cookies are a wholesome treat that are perfect for an afternoon snack. Plus, I love the spicy smells of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves that come from my oven as these easy-to-make cookies bake.

Ingredients
1/2 cup Smart Balance
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
1 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t cloves
1/4 t ginger
1 1/2 cups whole oats
1/2 cup ground flaxseed

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray baking sheets with cooking spray.

Beat first four ingredients together.

Add flours, baking soda, salt, and spices. Mix well.

Add oats and ground flaxseed.

Chill for 15-20 minutes, if desired, for easier handling.

Drop by rounded teaspoonful on to baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Makes 3 dozen.
