Safe Ginger cookies

Recipe found on The Vegan Chef, but improved by my fuckup of thinking all Ts, ts, and tees were made equal. Imagine, that much baking powder, that much ginger! Well, it worked out beautifully, so I'm feeding you all the Ts as tablespoons. These fuckers are delicious.

2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cups arrowroot, plus extra for rolling out cookies
2 cups teff flour
2 T. baking powder
2 T. baking soda
2 T. cinnamon
1 T. ground ginger
1 t. salt
1/2 T. ground nutmeg
1/2 T. ground cloves
1 1/2 cups maple sugar granules
1/2 cup applesauce
1/3 cup safflower oil
1/3 cup honey
2 T. vanilla
safflower oil, for oiling cookie sheets

In a small bowl, stir together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, and cloves, and set aside. In a medium bowl, place the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well to combine. Cover the bowl, place it in the refrigerator, and chill the dough for 1 hour or more. Using a little safflower oil, lightly oil (or mist with oil) two non-stick cookie sheets and set aside. Sprinkle a little arrowroot over a work surface. Divide the chilled dough into quarters, work with only one quarter of the dough at a time, and keep the remaining dough covered and chilled until needed. Working in batches, roll out the quarter of dough to 1/4-inch thickness, and cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Carefully transfer the cut cookies to the prepared cookie sheet. Bake them at 350 degrees for 6 minutes (the cookies will feel slightly soft to the touch). Allow them to cool on the cookie sheets for 3 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Repeat the rolling and cutting-out procedure for the remaining cookie dough. Store the cookies in an airtight container.
