15 Paleo Christmas Cookie Recipes (Grain‑Free Goodies)

Chewy Gingerbread Cookies

Chewy gingerbread cookies are a delightful holiday treat that captures the warm spices and comforting flavors of the season. These Paleo-friendly cookies are not only delicious but also gluten-free and refined sugar-free, allowing you to indulge in the festive spirit without straying from your dietary preferences. Their chewy texture and spiced aroma make them perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy nights by the fire.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, and sea salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the egg. Make sure the coconut oil is not too hot to avoid cooking the egg when you mix them together.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky dough. If the dough feels too dry, you can add a tablespoon of water to help bind it together.
5. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes. Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and makes it easier to shape.
6. Shape the Cookies: Once chilled, use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of dough. Roll them into 1-inch balls and then flatten them slightly with your palm. Place them on the lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
7. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look set but slightly soft.
8. Cool and Serve: 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. Enjoy your chewy gingerbread cookies with a warm beverage or as a sweet festive treat!

5. Add Strawberries: Gently fold the diced fresh strawberries into the batter, making certain they are evenly distributed throughout.
6. Pour into Prepared Pan: Transfer the batter to the lined baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to make certain it fills the corners and edges.
7. Bake the Bars: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sides are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Bars: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan and place them on a cooling rack.
9. Slice and Serve: Once completely cooled, slice the bars into squares or rectangles. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container for a few days for those sweet cravings. Enjoy your Strawberry Coconut Bars!
