Ginger Cookie…with a chocolate on top!

Ok so you’re probably thinking – what’s with all these recipes where ginger plays the star role?? I can’t help it! It’s that time of year where you just need a little spice to put a jump in your step and keep you heated through these chilly nights. Ok, that, and I had to use up the candied ginger I made recently.  I promise though, this will be the last ginger related recipe for a while…of course until it’s Christmas time, because then it’s all about gingerbread people cookies.

But who could resist, at any time of year, a gingy cookie that’s crackled on the outside yet soft and chewy on the inside? Not me! So I had to give in to yet another ginger inspired gluten free recipe (sorry).

I found a recipe on the Food Network site which looked very tempting –of course though, it wasn’t gluten free; but that didn’t stop me from revamping it.

Sometimes, converting a wheat flour recipe into a gluten free flour recipe can be a bit tricky. However this time, I decided to use some of the Better Batter all-purpose gluten free flour I had on hand. If you live in Canada (more specifically the GTA area), you may find it difficult to find this brand in your regular grocery store. I found this brand in my local HomeSense store (which by the way, is a great spot to find lots of gluten free goodies that you can’t find anywhere else!).
