Made with almond flour, these cookies are soft, chewy, and perfect for decorating with your favorite icing or sprinkles, making them a healthy yet festive treat for the Christmas season.
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Almond flour | 2 cups |
| Baking soda | 1 teaspoon |
| Ground ginger | 2 teaspoons |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 teaspoon |
| Ground cloves | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Coconut oil (melted) | 1/4 cup |
| Pure maple syrup | 1/2 cup |
| Egg | 1 large |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Stir them together until they are well blended and set the bowl aside.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth mixture.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to combine everything until a sticky dough forms.
- Chill the dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
- Shape the cookies: After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie, as they will spread out while baking.
- Flatten the cookies: Gently flatten each cookie ball with the back of a fork or your hands to achieve your desired cookie thickness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
- Cool down: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate (optional): Once cooled, feel free to decorate your Almond Flour Gingerbread Cookies with your favorite icing or toppings for the festive season.
