Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup molasses
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup sugar for rolling

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat in the egg until well combined, then add the molasses and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the dough into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Roll each ball in the sugar reserved for rolling.

Step 7

Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly browned around the edges.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
