Today I'd like to share my favorite gluten free cookie from Everyday Happy Herbivore. These molasses cookies are soft and fluffy and super easy to make. 

Soft Molasses Cookies | yields 14 cookies

*gluten-free*

1 c oat flour

1 tbsp cornstarch
 ½ to 1 tsp baking soda (see note)
 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
 ⅛ tsp allspice, nutmeg or ground cloves

¼ c mashed navy beans
 ¼ c molasses

2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce

2 tbsp brown or raw sugar (optional)

Note: For a less puffy and more dense cookie, use only ½ tsp baking soda. Use the full 1 tsp for very soft and pillow-like cookies.

To make oat flour, whiz instant or rolled oats in your blender until it reaches a flour-consistency.
Mix 1 cup oat flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt and spices together in a mixing bowl until well combined.
Add remaining ingredients and stir until combined.
Set batter aside to rest while oven heats to 350F.
Grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper. 
Drop 14 spoonfuls of batter on to the cookie sheet and bake 10-15 minutes, or until cookies are firm to the touch.
