I am so sorry that it has taken me so very long to summarize. I have not had a chance to try these recipes yet. I was looking for a soft ginger molasses cookie like Whole Foods Molasses Ginger Cookie. Here are the recipes I received for Gluten-free molasses ginger cookies:

Soft Ginger Cookies Dona Vickrey
1 cup sugar 1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup shortening or 1 tsp. cinnamon
Flieschman’s margarine 1 tsp. ginger
1 egg 2 cups sifted flour
1/4 cup Waconia Sorghum or molasses
2 tsp. soda
Cream sugar and shortening; add egg and sorghum; beat well. Add sifted dry ingredients; mix well. Chill dough several hours. Roll in small balls, dip in sugar, place on greased tin and flatten. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Makes 4 dozen.
My Notes: If the cookies are crisp rather than soft, place in a covered container to soften them. I used a combination of brown rice flour, tapioca flour, bean flour and buckwheat flour. You might choose the flours in the ingredients listing on the ginger cookies you already like. I used Fleischman's.
Whole Foods Molasses Ginger Cookies ingredients: Sugar, Canola Oil, Rice Flour, Soy Flour, Eggs, Molasses, Tapioca Starch, Blackstrap Molasses, Baking Powder (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Corn Starch, Monocalcium Phosphate), Ginger, Cinnamon, Xanthan Gum.

Spice Cookies using Sorghum Flour Carol Fenster
1/3 cup Butter
1/4 cup Molasses
1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
1 tsp Vanilla
3/4 cup Gluten Free Sweet White Sorghum Flour
1/2 cup Tapioca Flour
1/4 cup Soy Flour
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp Baking soda
1-1/2 tsp ground Ginger Root (Powdered)
1-1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon, Saigon (Premium)
1/4 tsp ground Nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground Cloves
2 Tbs. Water (if needed)
3 - 4 Tbs. Sugar (for rolling)
In food processor, blend butter (room temperature, not melted), molasses, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add dry ingredients and blend until thoroughly mixed and dough forms ball. (Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, only if mixture fails to form large ball – or if using electric mixer instead of food processor.) Dough will be stiff.
Shape into flat disk, cover tightly and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Grease a large cookie sheet or line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 325°F.
Dust hands with rice flour and shape dough into 16 one-inch balls and roll in sugar; place 2” apart on cookie sheet.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until cookies start to crack. Remove from oven; cool two minutes before transferring to rack to cool. Store in airtight container.
Yield: 16 cookies
