Grain Free Ginger Snaps

Ginger snaps are a Christmas time favorite. While many grain free cookies taste delicious, their texture can be offputting to those who don’t eat “healthy”. When we bring desserts to a cookie party or as gifts for our friends and neighbors, we want them to enjoy the same treats we do. This recipe achieves just that. It has the texture of a gluten containing cookie, the bite that comes with ginger, and cinnamon-y goodness. I use a combination of almond flour and tapioca starch and you can make them with or without eggs!

Ginger Snaps Recipe

grain free ginger snapsFor this recipe you’ll need finely ground almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder or soda (depending on if you want fluffy or flat cookies), salt, ginger powder, cinnamon powder, allspice, maple sugar (like this one), coconut oil or unsalted butter, egg or flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax meal with 3 tbsp warm water and let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes), vanilla, and molasses. You can also top them with a sprinkle of sugar on top for a little extra oomph.

Then you bake for 12-15 minutes. Boom, ginger snaps. They are absolutely delicious with dissolve in your mouth goodness that will remind you of the cookies you enjoyed growing up.
