Finally, a soft and chewy low carb molasses gingerbread cookie!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup sugar-free almond butter*
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 3/4 cup sugar-free brown sugar substitute
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 shakes black pepper

Instructions

Step 1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and cover 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2.  In a large bowl, beat together almond butter, eggs, molasses, and fresh ginger with an electric mixer until smooth.

Step 3.  In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the remaining dry ingredients.  

Step 4.  Use a wooden spoon to mix the dry ingredients into the wet.

Step 5.  Scoop out heaping tablespoons or cookie scoops of dough and use your palms to roll them into balls.  Put the dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheets, 8 balls to a sheet.  You'll have enough dough to fill 2 1/2 cookie sheets, so bake the first 2 cookie sheets, and then reuse the first cookie sheet for the remaining 4 cookies.

Step 6.  Bake cookies, until firm around the edges and starting to crack in the center, 8-9 minutes.  The cookies will look slightly puffed but will flatten and crinkle as they cool.  If they haven't flattened to a thickness of your liking, then use the bottom of a glass that has been sprayed with cooking spray to gently press them down a little.

Step 7.  Cool 5 minutes on the cookie sheets and then transfer the parchment paper with the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

*If you take these cookies to a party, make sure to clearly mark that they contain nuts.  Most people don’t expect cookies to use almond butter, so people with nut allergies might inadvertently eat one.
