I love being able to have my grandson visit and spend the night. When he was here last time I wanted to bake cookies with him! Such a grandmotherly thing to do. But I don't keep wheat in the house anymore and won't eat it or feed it to my grandson while he is here. I wanted to make gingerbread men but realized I no longer had any cookie cutters that shape, and ended up with only hearts and circles.
I don't measure anything when I make these things, so can only tell approximations. Recipe was:
- glob of softened coconut oil (about 2-4 tbsp or so)- about a tsp each of ground ginger and cinnamon- a pinch of salt- some coconut flour (couple tbsp or so)- some blackstrap molasses (maybe a tbsp or a bit more)- an amount of almond meal to make the dough a rollable consistency
I rolled this out and we cut them and baked them at 350 for about 10 minutes.
We rolled them very thin, almost like Moravian cookies. So a couple of them burned a bit. But most came out nicely crisp and gingery, and only mildly sweet. My grandson was fascinated with the process and enjoyed eating a couple.
Cute as a button, and the cookies look yummy!
