Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour (blanched, finely ground)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2 1/2 tbsp water (flax egg)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Flax Egg:
    • In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, molasses, melted coconut oil, and the flax egg until smooth.
  4. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
    • In another bowl, mix the almond flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves (if using), and salt.
  5. Form the Dough:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Shape and Bake:

  1. Shape the Cookies:
    • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Lightly press each ball to flatten slightly.
  2. Bake:
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies will be soft but firm up as they cool.
  3. Cool:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger for extra spice and texture.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • For a festive touch, roll the dough balls in coconut sugar before baking.
