These Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies are a fabulous treat to add to your Holiday baking! No refined sugar either! So quick to make and just as quick to devour.
Move over pumpkin eating season bring on the gingerbread! Since cutting wheat out of my diet recently, I decided to make these little gluten free gingerbread cookies. The are super simple and super yummy.
I like to use almond flour a lot now with baking. It makes things really moist and delicious with a little added protein too.
They are so quick to mix up and bake. And just as quick to devour too if you’re not careful! I’m really not sure how they made it to photograph! Which speaking of taking pictures, my 12 year old daughter wanted to take the pictures of these cookies today. I think she did a fabulous job!
INGREDIENTS, makes 12 cookies
1 cup almond meal flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon cloves
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
3 tablespoons coconut oil (or butter), melted
2 tablespoons molasses
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine almond flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the coconut oil, molasses and vanilla extract together well.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well until a dough forms. (add a up to 2 tablespoons of additional almond flour if batter is too wet)
Scoop a tablespoon of batter, drop onto the lined baking sheet and press down to form into cookie shapes.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Move onto a wire rack with a spatula to cool completely.
ENJOY!!

My cookies do not look at all like the picture. They spread considerably, are very flat and leave an oily slick on my fingers. Maybe there should be some flour or an egg added. Tastes like spicey almonds which is nice.

These look yummy but I’ve got no molasses. Could yacon syrup be substituted?
Sherri
Although I haven’t tried yacon syrup with this recipe, I would think it would work. If you do try it, be sure to let us know how they turn out.

Hi I’m just visiting from the ‘Bust Monday’Link Party. The Gingerbread cookies look delicious! I’m just wondering if they taste anything like the ginger snap biscuits that you find in the UK (I live in the Netherlands and we can’t get them here). I guess there is only one way to find out ….
