¾ cup vegan margarine, softened
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup molasses
¼ cup applesauce + ½ teaspoon baking soda
1¼ cups sorghum flour
1 cup brown rice flour
½ cup tapioca starch
1½ teaspoons xanthan gum
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup white sugar, to roll in

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Cream margarine and brown sugar together in a large bowl. Add molasses and applesauce. In a separate bowl mix flours, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt, ginger and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix well. Scoop out tablespoonfuls of cookie dough and roll out into a ball. Dough will be rather sticky. Roll into white sugar then place on a cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them. You would hate to overbake these tasty gems. Let cool at least 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing from sheet. The cookies will be slightly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.
