Iced Gingerbread Men and Ginger Cats {Gluten-free}

Gluten-Free Iced Gingerbread Men

Back in college, I showed up to a holiday party at my then-boyfriend’s mom’s house with a plate of gingerbread cookies. Except, at the time, I only owned one cookie cutter: a hippo. I showed up with 4 dozen iced gingerbread hippopotamuses. For Christmas that year, his mom and grandma independently mailed me cookie cutters. Apparently they didn’t find my gingerbread hippos festive enough (I beg to differ).

I made these Gluten-Free Iced Gingerbread Men for the last day of Rodelle’s 10 days of Cookies and for old time’s sake, threw in a couple of gingerbread hippos for extra merriment. And then because I couldn’t resist using my absurdly large collection of cat cookies cutters, half the batch turned into icing-striped Ginger Cats. Mmmrrooow.

Alternative title: Ginger Cats – An Ode to Arti.

Iced Gingerbread Men

Gingerbread Men

For this recipe, I ground my own cinnamon from Rodelle’s whole cinnamon sticks using a coffee grinder, which created an aromatic powder with a more pungent bite than the pre-ground cinnamon in my spice rack. Scents of cinnamon are still wafting through our house.

It’s not only from the freshly ground cinnamon baked into these cookies though. Not even primarily, actually. On the contrary, it’s more likely the entire jar of cinnamon we’ve used to fight the ant brigade invading our kitchen and dining room. Whenever we’d plug up one entry-point along a window sill or the actual electrical sockets with a water & cinnamon paste, they’d find another way in, until we’d covered our entire kitchen in wet poop-like cinnamon clumps and all of our food was double-sealed in Ziploc bags.

The ants still found a way in (for some inexplicable reason;  YOU WON’T GET TO MY SUGAR, GUYS). So we built an elaborate cat-proof ant trap, luring and then barricading the colony to a contained area with a 1/2-inch wide cinnamon barrier on the kitchen floor.

I don’t want to jinx it, but our eyesore of a trap seems to be working. On the plus side, it smells like Christmas all the time.

Gluten- Free Gingerbread Men

Spiced Gingerbread Cookies

If you want to make your house smell like the holidays without pouring cinnamon all over your kitchen floor, you can, alternatively, bake these gingerbread cookies. This is nearly the same recipe I made into hippos almost 10 years ago and have made many times since, but I tweaked it for a gluten-free cookie. After drooling over Nik from A Brown Table‘s spiced buckwheat molasses cookies, I was inspired to use buckwheat flour, but, having never working with it before, it took me four tests to get this gluten-free version just right.

The first batch was too sticky to roll out even after overnight refrigeration (imagine trying to roll out brownie batter). I added more buckwheat flour and the second batch turned out soft and cakey, which tasted a tad dry and stale. Even though my mom preferred this soft version, I knew it didn’t cut it. The overwhelming vote from Alanna‘s birthday was that these gingerbread cut cookies needed to be crispy. I agreed. Batch three was still soft, but this time, moist and chewy, which very well might be how some people prefer their gingerbread cookies. I still sought a crunchy cookie.

Vanilla Bean Icing

Iced Gingerbread Cookies

The final batch, and the recipe shared here, was the overwhelming winner in my book – crisp and snappy, just as a gingerbread man should be. With lots of butter, these cookies are crunchy, but still thin and airy in a way that’ll make you eat five in one sitting. The holiday spices, combined with dark molasses and robust buckwheat and chestnut flours give these gingerbread cookies depth of flavor.

Gluten-Free Iced Gingerbread Cookies

I drizzled half of the gingerbread cookies with a vanilla bean icing and drizzled a tart lemon icing over the rest. Both complement the cookie, with vanilla helping the warm spices shine and lemon providing a tart contrast to the spiced gingerbread. While I like both, I am partial to the lemon.

Gluten-Free Iced Gingerbread Men

Gluten-free Iced Gingerbread Men (and Ginger Cats)

Yield: 2-2.5 dozen, depending on size

Ingredients

Gingerbread Cookies

  • 3/4 cup white rice flour *for a non gluten-free version, see note
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free oat flour**
  • 1/2 cup buckwheat flour, plus more for rolling
  • 1/4 cup chestnut flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch or tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I made my own by grinding whole Rodelle)
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature***
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses

Vanilla Icing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Seeds of 1 vanilla bean pod or 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract (I use Rodelle Organics)
  • 3 -4 tablespoons of milk

Lemon Icing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

Gingerbread Cookies

  1. Whisk together the white rice flour, oat flour, buckwheat flour, chestnut flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar over medium high speed, until light and creamy.
  3. Add the egg and beat until completely combined, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the molasses and beat just to combine.
  4. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until completely combined.
  5. Divide the dough into four equal pieces and wrap in plastic, shaping the dough into disks. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until firm. (You can even refrigerate it overnight)
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it next to your cutting board.
  7. Remove only one disk of dough from the fridge at a time. Working quickly, roll it out on a parchment-lined surface heavily covered in buckwheat flour. I find it easiest, if I first pat the surface of the firm dough with buckwheat flour before I start rolling it out and then continuously add more underneath it and onto the rolling pin as I go.
  8. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and immediately transfer them to the parchment-lined baking sheet. I keep a thin metal spatula on hand in case any cookies get stuck.
  9. Refrigerate the cut cookies for 10 minutes before baking (this helps them from spreading out).
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until firm and lightly golden at the edges. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool. Repeat with remaining cookies, being sure to let the baking sheets cool before placing cut cookie dough on top.
  11. Drizzle with icing (recipe below).
  12. Store in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.

Vanilla Icing

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar with the vanilla bean seeds and milk. Use a spoon to test whether it's thin enough to drizzle, and if not, add another splash of milk.

Lemon icing

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Use a spoon to test whether it's thin enough to drizzle, and if not, add another splash of lemon juice.

Notes

*For a non gluten-free version replace the white rice flour, oat flour, buckwheat flour, chestnut flour, tapioca starch and xanthan gum with 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

**I make my own oat flour by grinding gluten-free rolled oats in my blender or food processor (and for cut cookies like these, I sift out larger chunks from the flour)

***Make sure your butter isn't too soft when you start or your dough will turn out very sticky and hard to roll out

      Right?! As you can see, I also made him a girlfriend. Actually, these gingerbread people cutters came in a set with an even LARGER gingerbread man, woman, and a house and dog. So I guess they are gingerbread siblings. Also – that family totally needs a pet cat. ;)

    Haha so funny! What’s wrong with gingerbread hippos? Well, at least you got some cookie cutters out of it ;). And why has that thought never crossed my mind? You see we purchased a coffee grinder in hopes that we’ll drink more coffee (although we don’t drink much, we both feel like it will make us cooler somehow), but just as expected, it’s collecting dust somewhere. I shall def make my own ground cinnamon!
    You over-achiver you! Of course you prepared 2 icings ;). Love them both! Wishing you and your family a Merry Merry Christmas!!!

Last year, Zoella (4) peeled and ate a blood orange she’d found in a bush in our side yard when we weren’t looking. We found the sticky peels on the steps and panicked - where did this blood orange come from? Did an animal bring it? Is she going to get sick?! 
•
And that’s how we discovered our neighbors have a blood orange tree. By that point, it had dropped most of its fruit except for a few very high up branches that leaned over our fence. The tree is fruiting and nearly ripe again so I’m hopeful I can barter for a bag of oranges in exchange for some slices of this bundt cake.

I dropped some of this dutch baby off with my neighbor and, without prompting, she immediately texted, “YOM. I would make this. Greens are hella good.” It’s true. The greens are the star. If you’re in the Bay Area, use the link in my profile to find out where to get them near you!

Related big news: Ira (2) voluntarily ate cooked Baby Kale without throwing it on the floor or sneakily moving it to his sister’s plate. Even Ira knows a good thing when he sees it.

For the gluten-free dutch baby recipe, search “almond dutch baby” on snixykitchen.com. Omit the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, and top it with grated gruyere 5 minutes before it’s done. For topping, saute some mixed mushrooms in butter with fresh thyme, and sliced garlic. Then add a few handfuls of Baby Kale and toss just to wilt. Salt & pepper to your heart’s content. If you want the extra flare, add a runny fried egg (eggs on eggs – why not?).

I tested multiple leading flours and, in a blind taste-test with 10 of my neighbors, every single one chose this almond flour version, describing it as “classic.” So there you go - get the recipe link for these classic chocolate chip blondies in my profile @snixykitchen.

It’s about time for our annual sugar cookie sess It’s about time for our annual sugar cookie session. This is what my sugar cookies look like when I decorate them by myself without kids. The ones we make for Santa will surely be rainbow swirled and very messy with a pile of sprinkles as thick as the cookie (I’ve heard that’s how Santa likes them anyhow).

Fun fact: I had to buy these holiday cookie cutters specifically for this post. There was a good couple of years where I only had a hippo cookie cutter and made holiday hippos every year. I still prefer my more eclectic cutters to the traditional ones. What’s your favorite cookie cutter in your collection?

I don’t know about you, but I could use a warm hug right about now. A slice of coffee cake with a ribbon of cinnamon sugar, a pile of streusel, and a vanilla icing drizzle feels like the food equivalent to that. You’ll find me snuggled up under my favorite blanket with a cup of tea and a slice of coffee cake every evening this week. Find the recipe link in my bio @snixykitchen.
