Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cup Almond Flour
  • 1 ¼ cup Oat Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 ¼ tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp Ground Cloves
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ cup Avocado Oil unsweetened
  • ⅔ cup Coconut Sugar
  • 5 tbs Molasses
  • 1 tbs Milk I used almond milk
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ cup Coconut Sugar to roll the dough balls in

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
  3. Next, add the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
  4. In a separate small bowl, add the coconut sugar to roll the dough in.
  5. Use a small or medium-sized cookie scoop to form cookies and roll in the coconut sugar. Place 2” apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press down slightly to flatten. The cookies won’t spread very much, so press them down to the thickness you prefer.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and drop the cookie sheet on the counter top a few times. This helps flatten the cookies to create a chewy texture.
  7. Return to the oven for 1 more minute.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet and then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
