Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup oat flour (certified gluten-free if necessary)
  • 1 cup almond flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup coconut sugar (or ⅓ cup brown sugar)
  • ¼ cup room-temp coconut oil (should be solid and slightly soft)
  • 3 Tbs blackstrap molasses
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbs nondairy milk
  • Optional topping: 2 Tbs turbinado sugar + 2 Tbs. finely chopped crystallized ginger
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the coconut sugar, coconut oil, molasses, vanilla, and milk until combined and fluffy (roughly 1 min on medium speed).
  4. Reduce speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients until a dough forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together the turbinado sugar and ginger crystals. Scoop about 1½-2 Tbs of dough and roll it into a ball in your hands. Firmly roll the dough ball in the ginger-sugar mixture, coating it as much or as little as you like. Place the ball on the baking sheet and press down slightly with your fingers to create a dough "patty." Repeat with the rest of the dough.
  6. Bake 10-12 mins, until they are puffy and have spread slightly. They will firm up as they cool.
  7. Allow to cool 10 mins on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature up to 7 days.
Notes
I chopped my crystallized ginger as finely as I could with a large knife, but you could also pulse it a few times in a small food processor.
