Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup + 1/2 tablespoon coconut flour see notes
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 5 tablespoons dairy-free butter for vegan friendly (or unsalted butter)
  • 2/3 cup coconut sugar or light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons black strap molasses
  • 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk or creamer
  • organic cane sugar for rolling if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF and line large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In medium bowl whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt and spices.
  • In large bowl using electric mixer cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add in molasses and milk, mixing on low speed, then add flour mixture mixing on low-medium speed until fully combined. Dough will be soft and feel somewhat sticky.
  • Using 1/2 rounded tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough into ball and roll between palms; dip in rolling sugar if desired. Place evenly spaced on cookie sheet – see photo in post for spacing, and press down with palms. Cookies won't spread much. Bake cookies for 7-9 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely. You may also press down cookies again upon taking out of oven.
  • Store cookies in container at room temperature up to 1 week.
