Cocoa-Molasses Drop Cookies (gluten free)

1/3 cup molasses and 1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder and 3 tablespoons cocoa
3/4 cup brown rice flour
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F.
2. Mix oil and sugar together.
3. Add the molasses and egg; beating until the mixture is smooth.
4. Add the baking powder and the cocoa to the creamed mixture; then add the flour.
5. Pipe the mixture onto a cookie sheet in mounds a little larger than a quarter.
6. Bake 9 minutes or until set. I did it at 7 minutes.
7. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
8. Drizzle a Vanilla glaze in thin lines over the top of each cookie.
9. For Vanilla Glaze: Stir together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk in a small bowl until mixture is smooth and of drizzling consistency. Stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla. Makes ½ cup. (I skipped this for lack of milk though may try coconut milk next time).
