Gingerbread Men Chia Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 ¾ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar
  • 5 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅓ cup blackstrap molasses
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Frosting
  • use any frosting of your choice (red, green, yellow, white)
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients (first 8) in a big bowl.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients (last 2) in a small bowl.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients while mixing gently.
  5. Take small amounts of the dough and spread each on a cutting board with your fingers. Cut the dough in shapes and remove each cookie with a pie server. Place each cookie on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes. Pay close attention around the 8 minute mark so the cookies don’t burn.
  7. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool. The cookies will be soft to touch, but they will harden when they are cooled.
  8. Decorate the cookies with red, green, white, and yellow frosting.
