Gingerbread Cookies

The most delicious gluten free gingerbread cookies you will ever taste! It is certainly a melt-in-your-mouth kind of situation. Your next Christmas tradition is awaiting you!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pink salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons molasses

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray a cookie sheet with coconut oil and set aside.
  2. Combine all dry ingredients into a medium size mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add all the wet ingredients and stir with a mixing spoon. Batter will be slightly crumbly.
  3. After mixing well with a spoon, use your hands to knead the dough, approximately 30 seconds. Do not knead the dough for too long or cookies will be tough.

To make round cookies:

  1. After kneading the dough, take a retractable ice cream scoop that has been dipped in coconut oil (this helps the batter slide out of the scoop easier) and scoop the dough and place onto a cookie sheet. 
  2. I usually place eight scoops per cookie sheet. After all the dough has been placed onto the cookie sheet, press each ball of dough down slightly to make a cookie shape.

To make cookies with cookie cutters:

  1. After kneading the dough, sprinkle a little tapioca flour onto a flat surface and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough.
  2. Use the cookie cutters of your choice to cut the shapes and use a spatula to place onto the baking sheet. I usually put eight shapes per cookie sheet.
  3. If you run out of room to make your shapes, re-knead the dough and roll out again until all the dough has been used.

 To Bake:

Bake for 4-5 minutes for slightly softer cookies. If you prefer crunchier cookies, bake for 6-7 minutes.

Notes

Cookies will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week, if they last that long! They can also be frozen for up to one month and re-heated in the oven.
