Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- Dash of clove (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 to 3 tablespoons coconut sugar (optional, for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
- Next, add the olive oil, maple syrup, and molasses. Mix until a thick batter forms.
- Use a cookie scoop (I use a 1 tablespoon scoop) to scoop dough, then roll it between your hands to form a ball. OR use cookie cutters to cut into shapes. Can roll the balls in coconut sugar, if desired.
- Arrange the balls on prepared baking sheet. The cookies won’t spread much, so flatten cookies to desired thickness.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes (until cookies lightly puff up). Allow cookies to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Can wet hands/fingers if dough becomes too sticky when rolling into balls.
- This recipe is great with cookie cutters for gingerbread men.
- Can dust finished cookies with powdered sugar (optional).
- For room temperature storage – store in container for up to 3 days (cookies will get soft if stored in an airtight container).
- For refrigerator storage – store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- For freezer storage – store in a sealed freezer bag or container for up to 3 months.
- Use code: TAYLOR10 for 10% off olive oil
