- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2/3 cup tapioca flour
- 1 1/2 scoops Cellucor Cinnamon Swirl Whey Protein (use vanilla grass fed whey + extra 1/4 cinnamon for paleo)
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp pure blackstrap molasses
- 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Additional granulated sugar for rolling (I used Monkfruit sweetener for this part , use coconut sugar for paleo)
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with SILPAT or parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
With the help of a small cookie scoop (dough will be sticky), roll dough into approximately 1 inch balls. Roll dough balls in granulated sugar until evenly coated, then place on baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. The cookies will feel slightly underdone. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet to help firm them up or remove them to a cooling rack for extra soft cookies.
