Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl x 2

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp almond butter sub any nut butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • white sugar (to coat)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg, coconut oil, molasses, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla extract and almond butter until you have a smooth mixture
  • In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice and baking soda
  • Add wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and combine using a spatula.
  • Once you get a thick dough-like ball, cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit while the dough is chilling
  • When the dough is done chilling, use a cookie scoop or spoon and roll each piece into 1 inch dough balls
  • Roll each dough ball in white sugar (can use coconut sugar but it will not be white on the outside)
  • Place each sugar coated dough ball on a parchment paper or silicone mat baking sheet. Make sure there is at least 3 inches between each dough ball. Then using a spatula or your hand, lightly flatten the dough ball.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Cool down on the baking sheet for at least 10 more minutes so that the cookies continue to bake.
