Description

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp ground flax seeds + 3 tbsp water
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup gluten free flour blend (I use Bobs Red Mill, see note below)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup softened coconut oil (see note below)
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Directions

• Whisk the tablespoon of ground flax seeds with three tablespoons of water. Let the mixture sit until it thickens.
• In a medium bowl, add the almond flour, gluten-free flour blend, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
• In a large bowl, add the coconut oil, coconut sugar, flax mixture, molasses, vanilla, and grated ginger. Mix well to combine.
• Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture a little at a time and mix well until they are both incorporated into each other.
• Refrigerate the dough in the mixing bowl for 30 minutes.
• Line cookie sheet(s) with parchment paper.
• Using a spoon (I use a little less than a tablespoon per ball), scoop up a small amount of the dough and roll it into a ball.
• Roll each ball in the granulated sugar and place on cookie sheet.
• Refrigerate the balls on the cookie sheet(s) for 20 minutes. (This step is important to ensure you get the crackly tops!)
• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Remove from fridge and bake for 10 minutes.
• Let cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. They will appear very soft when taken out, thats OK, when they cool they will firm up.
