Directions
Step 1
Preheat your 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, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and monk fruit sweetener together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 7
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
