Almond Flour Gingerbread Cookies

Almond Flour Gingerbread Cookies are a delightful twist on the traditional holiday treat, perfect for those looking to enjoy a gluten-free option without sacrificing flavor. These cookies are made with almond flour, providing a nutty taste and a tender texture, while the blend of spices like ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg give them that classic gingerbread essence. Decorate them with your favorite icing or enjoy them plain for a satisfying holiday snack.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cookie removal.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until fully combined. This guarantees that the spices and leavening agent are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until everything is mixed together and a dough forms. The dough may be a bit sticky, which is normal for almond flour cookies.
5. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps to firm up the dough, making it easier to roll out.
6. Roll Out the Dough: After chilling, dust your work surface with a little almond flour to prevent sticking. Divide the dough into two portions for easier handling. Roll out one portion with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thickness.
7. Cut Out Cookies: Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the rolled-out dough. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them, as almond flour cookies can brown quickly.
9. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Decorate (Optional): Once cooled, you can decorate the cookies with icing, sprinkles, or enjoy them plain! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
