Gingerbread Protein Cookies

Gingerbread Protein Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour

  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

  • 2 tbsp blackstrap molasses **

  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour (or any kind of flour, for dusting)

Directions:

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 and line baking sheet with parchment paper

  • Combine dry ingredients in large bowl, set aside

  • Combine wet ingredients in separate bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry, mixing until a dough consistency forms.

  • Dust flat surface with flour and roll out the dough with a rolling pin and cut out shapes!

  • Place on baking sheet, cook for 8-10 minutes.

  • Let cool & enjoy

**Notes:

—> One thing to be clear about when getting blackstrap molasses, please buy an organic - un-sulphured kind. I have had success with this at the Bulk Barn or Super Store in the natural food section.

—> Also, I realize there is no actual ginger in the recipe for gingerbread cookies and that may seem “odd”. However, it was just to simplify the recipe and not have too many ingredients. You will still get the same gingerbread taste from the spices used. If you want to add ginger, I would recommend using 1/4 tsp ground ginger - this will add more of that spicy taste to the cookie.

I hope you enjoyed this post, and if you tried out these recipes let me know how they went for you!
