Soft and Chewy Texture

One of the challenges of gluten-free baking (especially cookies) is achieving the right texture. Almond flour works wonders here, giving the cookies a slightly chewy and tender texture that melts in your mouth. These cookies aren't dry or crumbly, but instead have a soft, rich bite that will have you coming back for more. You would never know that they are made with almond flour!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (ground)
  • ½ tsp ginger (ground)
  • ¼ tsp allspice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted and cooled (or grass fed butter or oil of choice)
  • 3 tbsp molasses (organic)
  • 1 egg (large, organic)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Why To Love This Recipe

  • Nutritious Ingredients: Almond flour not only adds a wonderfully nutty flavor but also brings a host of health benefits to the table. Rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber, almond flour helps keep you feeling satisfied while offering a lower glycemic index compared to regular flour. This means you can enjoy your cookies without worrying about sudden spikes in blood sugar levels.
  • Gluten-Free: For those with dietary restrictions or preferences, these cookies are a dream come true. They're completely gluten-free!
  • Refined Sugar Free: Going refined sugar-free isn't just a trend; it's a lifestyle choice that offers numerous benefits for your health and well-being, such as stabilizing blood sugar levels, increased energy levels, improved digestive health, improving dental health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

How To Make Them

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice & salt.
  2. Add in the coconut oil/butter, molasses, egg, and vanilla. Mix until you have a cookie dough consistency. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. This is important or the dough will be too sticky to work with!
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  4. Remove the cookie dough from the fridge. Use a cookie scoop to form 16 cookies (about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough per cookie for reference) and arrange them 2 inches apart from each other on the baking sheet. 
  5. Gently press on each cookie to slightly flatten. This helps them spread out and bake evenly.
  6. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and enjoy!
