What I love about Gluten-free Chewy Ginger Cookies

Chewy ginger cookies are so classic to make this time of year! They are definitely a favourite of mine! They are very popular and for good reason. They are soft, deliciously spiced and all around so tasty! The sugar-coated exterior and chewy interior is what makes these classic cookies distinctively different and unique. This recipe is 100% gluten-free and grain-free and, I promise, it holds up!

These cookies don’t spread much, so I like to flatten them slightly with the palm of my hand before transferring to the oven. These ginger cookies are so yummy and perfect to have around for the holidays, especially if you have any gluten-free or grain-free friends or family around. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

What you will need to make Gluten-free Chewy Ginger Cookies

Here’s a list of ingredients that you will need:

• Almond Flour - As mentioned above, it’s gluten-free and low-carb! I don’t recommend substituting a gluten-free flour blend for this recipe as the ratios will be different.

• Butter - Unsalted butter is always recommended for baking as salted butter can cause the result to be too salty.

• Sugar - I use a blend of granulated and brown sugar for this recipe. Rolling the dough balls in sugar before baking is what gives these cookies that beautiful, cracked top.

• Egg - You will need one medium-sized egg, at room temperature for this recipe.

• Molasses - Molasses is the distinct ingredient that makes these cookies so chewy and yummy.

• Ground Ginger - Also a distinct ingredient that gives these cookies that classic ginger flavour.

You will also need a few pantry basics:

• Pure vanilla extract

• Baking soda

• Sea salt
