Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca starch (or arrowroot starch)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • pinch salt
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
  • 5 tablespoons butter (or ghee, palm shortening) softened/room temperature (not melted)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup no sugar added white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix the almond flour, starch, spices and salt together in a large bowl.

  2. Add the softened butter (or ghee/palm shortening to keep it paleo), maple syrup, molasses and vanilla and use a fork to mix everything together.

  3. Use your hands to squeeze the dough and bring it together.

  4. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in fridge for at least 1 hour to chill.

  5. Preheat oven to 325F.

  6. Take the chilled dough and place it between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Put some tapioca starch on it so it doesn't stick.

  7. Use your hands to flatten it and then a rolling pin to roll into about 1/4 thick disk.

  8. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.

  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes at 325F, until the cookies take on a little bit of color.

  10. Let the cookies cool down completely and then melt the chocolate chips over double boiler.

  11. Place the melted chocolate in a piping bag with a small tip and decorate the cookies.

  12. Store on counter in an air-tight container for 3-4 days.
