Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well incorporated and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix coconut sugar, molasses, and egg until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly glossy.
- Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a consistent dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but hold together well.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a uniform thickness, approximately 1/2 inch high.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their chewy texture.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ground ginger for the most vibrant flavor. If possible, consider adding a pinch of fresh grated ginger for extra zing.
- Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the egg, to ensure better mixing and a more consistent dough.
- Don't overmix the dough - combine ingredients just until they're incorporated to keep the cookies tender.
- For perfectly uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop or weigh each portion to ensure consistent size and baking time.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the wire rack to develop their signature chewy texture.
- Store in an airtight container with a small piece of bread to help maintain moisture and softness.
- For extra indulgence, consider dusting with powdered sugar or drizzling with a light glaze after cooling.
