Deliciously low-carb Keto Gingerbread Cookies perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups blanched finely ground almond flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup finely ground coconut flour
- 1 Tbsp. ground ginger
- 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1/3 cup Swerve granulated sweetener
- 1 cup Swerve confectioners sweetener (for royal icing)
- 2 Tbsp. meringue powder (for royal icing)
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (for royal icing)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
- In another large bowl, beat the butter and Swerve granulated sweetener until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and beat to combine.
- Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Dust dough on both sides with almond flour if dough is too sticky. Freeze until firm (while still between parchment paper) for about 30 minutes.
- Loosen paper from one side, flip, and remove paper from top of dough. Cut cookies as desired and use a thin metal spatula to transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets. Scraps can be rerolled and re-frozen before cutting.
- Freeze cut out cookies for 15 minutes. Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until crisp and just starting to turn golden on edges. Cool completely on the trays on a wire rack. Use a thin metal spatula to loosen cookies.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is well-chilled before cutting to maintain shape.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during rolling and baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
