Servings 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 egg or flax egg 1 tbsp flax meal with 3 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 1 tsp vanila
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup oat flour
- 2 tbsp Tapioca flour
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder

Gingerbread Spice
- 2 tsp cinnamon

Royal Icing
- 1 cup monkfruit sweetener or powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp almond milk or water
- 2 tbsp meringue powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°
- Mix your egg or flax egg with your vanilla and maple syrup or honey, now add your molasses and whisk all together and set aside
- Sift together your flours, baking powder, coconut sugar, and sea salt to get a smooth texture (it's ok if you don't have a sifter I find it just helps with the texture) now add you gingerbread spice and mix it together
- Now add your wet ingredients that you set aside to your dry ingredients and mix with a spoon or fork until a dough forms! Form this into a ball with your hands
- Flour your surface with tapioca flour as well as your rolling pin and begin to roll out your dough to be about 1/7" ( I don't like mine to0 thin) and begin cutting out your cookies!
- Place your cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes (do not over bake!!) Ice your cookies or dip them or drizzle them with chocolate & enjoy!
