- Place the almond flour, chestnut flour (or arrowroot), sweetener, butter and spices and salt in a food processor and combine.
- Add in the molasses and vanilla and pulse until dough forms into a big ball.
- Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to keep the cookies from spreading as they cook.
