Ginger Molasses Cookies (Sugar-Free)

Rolling the chilled dough balls in allulose before baking, then letting the cookies crack naturally as they spread, is what gives ginger molasses cookies their signature crackled top.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup allulose
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp blackstrap molasses (unsulfured)
  • 1/4 cup allulose (for rolling)

Method

  1. 1

    Whisk almond flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together.

  2. 2

    Cream dairy-free butter and allulose until fluffy, then beat in the egg and molasses.

  3. 3

    Mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms, then chill 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Roll the chilled dough into balls and roll each one in the allulose for coating.

  5. 5

    Bake at 350°F for 11-13 minutes — as the cookies spread slightly in the oven, the allulose coating on the surface naturally cracks and separates, which is what gives ginger molasses cookies their signature crackled top; don't press them flat before baking, as that flattens out the cracks before they have a chance to form. Cool on the pan 5 minutes.
