Ginger Cookies Without Molasses
These ginger cookies are made without molasses but perfectly spiced with warm flavors. They are gluten-free, egg-free, refined-sugar-free, and are the perfect sweet treat!
Servings: 11 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups almond flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
- 2 tbsp sugar sprinkles optional for topping cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Stir together the almond flour, baking powder, and ground spices until combined.
- Add in the butter and maple syrup and mix until combined. The mixture will seem crumbly at first but will come together into a dough as you continue to mix. Use your hands as needed to form the dough.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll each piece into a ball. Press down on the balls to flatten them and shape them into cookies. Place these cookies on a parchment paper-lined pan.
- If you'd like, top the cookies with some sugar sprinkles for an extra sweet treat!
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown. Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to flatten and shape the cookies beforehand because they will not change shape while baking.
- Do not bake the cookies for more than 12 mins. They may appear light-colored since they do not contain any molasses, but they will slightly darken as they cool.
