If there is one thing I am certain of at this very moment it’s that this world could use some more happiness and positivity in it.

I’m not going to pretend like I know how to solve this problem, but cookies can’t hurt.

Everyone loves cookies, me included, though for some crazy reason I often find them difficult to bake perfectly.  Not these Almond Ginger Cookies.  They are foolproof, gluten free, Paleo friendly (depending on who you asked, but based on my research molasses seems okay), and full of all that gingerbread-y Christmas flavor we all crave.

When I put them in the oven, I wasn’t exactly sure what would happen, but they puffed up and developed these gorgeous, shiny tops.  The molasses and ginger work together to create that deep, rich flavor with the right hint of spice.  And they are oh so easy to make.  No chilling.  No mixers.  No weird ingredients.  Just good cookies.

I don’t know about you, but good cookies definitely make me happier.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  2. In a medium bowl, stir together almond butter, syrup, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and vanilla until well combined. Stir in the egg, ensuring it is well combined.
  3. Scoop the prepared batter onto the baking sheet in heaping tablespoonfuls. Bake for about 12 minutes until the cookies are puffed and shiny on top. Serve warm or cool completely on the tray. These cookies are sticky and delicate. Take care when removing them from the tray and storing them.

    Ginger cookies are always good, aren’t they? A great sounding version with almond butter, I don’t think I have ever used that in baking.

      I highly recommend baking with almond butter. It is perfect for gluten free baking and I really love the flavor it lends with a natural sweetness.

Currently craving a giant slice of this Espresso V Currently craving a giant slice of this Espresso Vanilla Bean Tiramisu Cake. Then again, when am I not craving it??? This cake has all the flavors of tiramisu and is covered in a drippy glaze that packs a second kick of coffee. So that means it's totally acceptable to eat this for breakfast, right??? ☕😋
