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

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  2. Mix until well-combined, then add all wet ingredients and beat until mixture starts to form wet crumbs. This may take a few minutes.
  3. Remove the dough mixture and combine the dough together by pressing it together with your hands until it becomes one large ball.
  4. Roll the dough in between 2 pieces of parchment paper until about 1/4" thick. (Make sure it is as even as possible.)
  5. Refrigerate dough for 30-40 minutes. Preheat oven to 350.
  6. 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!
  7. Cool and decorate as desired.
