Tis’ the season for baking Christmas cookies – and for the messes that come along with it! The girls and I had so much fun making gingersnap cookies that we decided to make Gingerbread Men cookies this weekend.

After the last sugary recipe we made, I decided we needed to make something that was grain and refined sugar free – so Gingerbread Man Cookies it was!

If you’re looking for a good gingerbread men recipe that’s grain and refined sugar free, give this recipe a try. These Gingerbread Men cookies really hold their shape well with cookie cutters and they don’t puff up, so they’re easy to ice too.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 4 cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup raw honey
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 275° F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and sea salt.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, molasses, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Be sure the melted coconut oil is somewhat cooled down or it will cook the eggs.
  • Combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture and stir until the dough comes together and the lumps are gone.
  • Divide dough into two halves and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Take one half out of the refrigerator and roll it out to about ¼” thickness.
  • Use your gingerbread men (or other shapes) cookie cutters to cut your cookies, then transfer to parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
  • Re-roll out the leftover dough until there isn’t enough to make a cookie from, then repeat the process with the other ball of dough.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until your gingerbread men are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to cool briefly on the pan, then move to a wire rack to cool. If you don’t use a wire rack, the bottoms of the cookies may get soggy.
  • If you want, you can decorate your gingerbread men with icing. Otherwise these are a pretty healthy treat all on their own!
