Here is a list of everything you need to bake the best low carb ginger snaps cookies:

Ingredients Gluten-Free Gingersnap Cookies
  • Almond Flour – you will need to use superfine blanched almond flour.
  • Coconut Flour –  sift it to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Butter – use softened unsalted butter.
  • Brown Sugar Replacement – for the best flavors, use a brown sugar alternative such as Lakanto Golden or Sukrin gold. Regular granulated erythritol or monk fruit is also great to sweeten the cookies.

How To Make Gingersnap Cookies

Follow the next steps if you want to enjoy these delicious and crisp cookies that are extremely easy to make.

1. Preheat the oven – Preheat your oven to 350F/ 177C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the ginger snap cookie dough – Add the softened butter and brown sugar to a mixing bowl and mix until creamy and fluffy. Add the spices, molasses, vanilla extract, and salt, and mix until well combined. Stir in the almond flour and coconut flour and mix until there are no lumps.

3. Form the cookies – Using a medium ice cream scoop, scoop the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie using your hands, leaving enough space between as they might spread a little.

4. Bake the cookies for 18 – 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool to crisp up.
