Equipment

  • **You MUST use an electric or stand mixer for this recipe**

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  • Mix until well-combined, then add all wet ingredients and beat until mixture starts to form wet crumbs. This may take a few minutes.
  • Remove the dough mixture and combine the dough together by pressing it together with your hands until it becomes one large ball.
  • Roll the dough in between 2 pieces of parchment paper until about 1/4" thick. (Make sure it is as even as possible.)
  • Refrigerate dough for 30-40 minutes. Preheat oven to 350.
  • Cut cookies with a gingerbread man shaped cookie cutter and bake for 8-12 minutes until golden brown. You can repeat the process if you have a lot of extra "scraps". Just keep rolling, refrigerating, and baking until you run out of dough!
  • Cool and decorate as desired.
