Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 6 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with a slip mat or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, baking soda, baking powder. Be sure to loosen any clumps in the flour mixture, I used a fork to mix and break it up until the mixture is fine.
- Then in a separate, smaller bowl, add molasses, coconut oil, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Combine liquids with a fork just until they slightly blend, do not over mix otherwise coconut oil will harden.
- In the bowl with the flour mixture, create a well in the center of the flour and add liquid. With a baking spatula, fold the flour over the liquid multiple times over and over until you have a gooey dough mixture and it appears all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- With a small ice cream scoop, place one tablespoon of mixture onto the baking sheet.
- Bake 10-12 minutes until hardened on the outside, the center may still be a bit undercooked but that is ok.
- Remove from the oven immediately sprinkle a bit of sea salt on each cookie.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet another 2 minutes before removing and placing on a cooling rack cool 8 minutes to cool completely.
