Spicy Ginger Cookies Recipe
What You Need –
(Makes 24)
-
- ¼ cup unsalted grass-fed French, Italian or buffalo milk butter (or coconut oil), melted
- 1 cup erythritol (like Swerve)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
What To Do –
1. First, preheat your oven to 350F.
2. Then, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, ginger (fresh and dry), nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice in a large bowl. Set the mixture aside.
3. Next – in a measuring cup – whisk together the butter, erythritol, egg, and vanilla extract.
4. Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients, and mix until they’re all well combined.
5. Line your sheet tray in parchment. Then, spoon out little tablespoon-sized cookie balls onto the tray. Place it in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until set.
6. Finally, let your cookies cool to room temperature and serve them up!
