Note: parchment paper on the cookie sheet before baking is extremely helpful for making gluten free cookies not stick.

Hello- I try to avoid margerine, would another fat work in this recipe?
is it just me or am i missing where to add the egg? with the molasses?
also, do you add the dry ingredients all at once or scoop by scoop?

Hi
you can use butter, my son is allergic to dairy to margerine makes these GF and dairy free, but butter will work
-Monica
Replace1 cup margerine with one of the following:
1 stick of butter
1 stick Earth Balance (Non-Dairy) Buttery Stick
8 tablespoons Spectrum Organic Shortening
8 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
For reduced fat:
6 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce + 2 tablespoons fat of choice
These cookies tasted great although a bit gritty. Not sure what happened but they really fell apart. Could barely place them on a plate without them falling apart. Kids ate them anyway :)
