Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Erythritol (granular form)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, combine erythritol, applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, molasses, and melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
Using a tablespoon-sized scoop or spoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Gently flatten the cookies slightly with the back of your spoon or fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly firm.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 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.
