Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour 220 gr
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup coconut sugar 76 gr
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted and cooled or avocado oil
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place almond flour, baking soda, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3-4 times to mix.
  2. Add in the coconut oil, molasses, egg, and vanilla and process until a dough forms. This takes about 15-20 seconds.
  3. Transfer the dough into a bowl, wrap with plastic, and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  5. Remove the dough from the fridge. Using a spoon (or a small ice cream scoop) measure 1 ½ tablespoons of dough per cookie and arrange them 2 inches apart from each other on the baking sheet. 
  6. Gently press on each cookie to slightly flatten. 
  7. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Allow it to cool on the sheet pan for 5 minutes and serve.

Notes

  • To important things to mention for the best results:
  • Yields: This recipe makes 12-14 cookies cookies. The nutritional values below are per cookie.
  • You will end up with a very sticky dough. This is normal so don’t be tempted to add in more almond flour.
  • Do not skip the chilling time. The time spent in the fridge helps solidify the fat in the cookies, which helps cookies to spread less as they are baking in the oven.
