Gingerbread should have real ginger, and be gluten and dairy free!

 

I keep gushing ginger love at you... ginger tea, ginger in my smoothies, ginger on my chicken, ginger in my cocktails, and now these cookies!! 

What can I say??.... REAL ginger is seriously a gutsy girl's best friend! 

Real gingerbread cookies

1 T Flax seed meal + 3 T water

2 C Almond flour

1/2 C GF all purpose flour

1 t cinnamon

1 t ground ginger

1/2 t nutmeg

1/4 t cloves

1/4 t cardamom

1 t baking soda

1/4 t sea salt

1/2 C coconut oil

1/2 C coconut sugar

1/4 C molasses

1 T fresh grates ginger

1 t vanilla

Mix the water and flax and let sit to thicken.  In a small bowl combine the flours, spices, baking soda, and salt.  In another bowl mix the coconut oil, sugar, molasses, vanilla, and fresh ginger.  Stir in the flax mixture.  Slowly add the dry mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.  Refrigerate for half an hour.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place tablespoon sized balls on it.  Refrigerate for 20 minutes.  Preheat over to 350 and bake for 10 minutes.  The cookies will be super soft so make sure to let them set up as they cool.
