1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup canola oil, butter, or margarine
2 large eggs
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup millet flour (i had none, so subbed a combination of coconut flour, buckwheat flour, and white rice flour)
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup potato starch
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (i left it out, and they were great)
1/2 t pumpkin pie spice
pinch of nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, oil, eggs, molasses, and vanilla.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flours and starches, xanthan gum, baking soda, spices, and salt.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir until fully combined.
DOUGH WILL SEEM TOO WET AND STICKY AND WEIRD, BUT THEY WILL COME OUT WELL!
Leave 2 inches between cookies.
Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to remain on cookie sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cooled, store cookies in an airtight container.

I made mine big, and they came out a great texture – soft and fluffier than many gluten free recipes, and not super gluten-free tasting. Good!
