Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the unsalted butter and erythritol together until light and fluffy.
Add in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Using a tablespoon, scoop small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly press each ball to slightly flatten them into discs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low carb molasses cookies as a delightful snack or dessert!
