Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams Almond flour
- 20 grams Coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Butter, softened
- 100 grams Erythritol
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Molasses
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol together until creamy and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses to the butter mixture and mix until well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition until a dough forms.
Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop or your hands, roll the dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden. The centers may seem soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious low-carb ginger cookies with a hot cup of tea or coffee!
