Gluten Free Gingerbread Men AND WOMEN Cookies - So yummy! The Best!

Gluten Free Gingerbread Men AND WOMEN  :-)

These are every bit as yummy... or more yummy than gluten filled cookies!  :-)

What you need:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons molasses
egg
1 3/4 cups Gluten Free Bisquick*
teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Quick instructions: Mix the dry ingredients, add the wet.  Mix well.  Refridgerate for a bit.  Roll out using a bit of gluten free flour or Bisquick to keep it from sticking to the board or the rolling pin.  Cut your cute shapes.  Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.  Frost with a simple buttercream frosting.  Eat.  Repeat.  ;-)
*If using a gluten free flour blend rather than Bisquick, add 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon xanthan gum and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies... that taste AMAZING!!!

Bron's Famous Chocolate Cake

Derwyn's sister Bronwyn Hanney Grissom makes the best chocolate cake ever.  She is a a wonderful and kind person, so she shared her recipe with me.  :-)  I made this with regular flour before I went gluten free, and I've made it with gluten free flour since... and it's still AMAZING.  Recipes for the cake and frosting are found on the below photos.  :-)  (Thank you, Bron!)
Sorry it's sideways!  I don't know why it loaded like this!  :-}
