Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Monk fruit sweetener
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and monk fruit sweetener together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
