Ingredients
- 180 grams Almond flour
- 20 grams Coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Butter, softened
- 100 grams Erythritol
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Molasses
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, coconut flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol together until creamy and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses to the butter mixture and mix until well blended.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition until a dough forms.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop or your hands, roll the dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden. The centers may seem soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy your delicious low-carb ginger cookies with a hot cup of tea or coffee!
