Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups almond flour (finely ground)
1/4 cup chestnut flour (optional for deeper flavor; see notes for substitutions)
3-4 tablespoons granulated sweetener of choice (see notes for options)
3 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil, softened)
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the almond flour, chestnut flour, sweetener, butter, spices, and salt to a food processor. Process until combined.
Add the molasses and vanilla and pulse until a dough forms.
Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to help prevent spreading.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten if desired.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until set around the edges.
Let cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for a firmer texture.

Notes

These gingerbread cookie bites are softer and easier than traditional gingerbread cutout cookies, but still have all the cozy gingerbread flavor.
Almond flour creates a soft texture while warm spices and molasses give these cookies their classic holiday taste.
For a lower sugar option, use a low-carb sweetener.
To make these extra festive, drizzle with icing or dip in melted white chocolate after cooling.
Store in an airtight container for several days, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
