Ingredients: 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour. 2 teaspoons baking soda. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup molasses. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/3 cup granulated sugar for rolling.
