Ingredient List
1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour
1/2 Cup Gold Monk Fruit Blend (Or your favorite brown sugar substitute)
1/2 Cup Gingerbread Mölk
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
Pinch of Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
1/2 Cup Butter (melted & browned)
1 Large Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
How to Make Gingerbread Protein Cookies
Begin by preheating the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Next, melt the butter on medium heat in a small saucepan, stirring often, and boil for 3-5 minutes or until the butter has turned a caramel brown color.
I know this is an extra step that may seem unnecessary, but browned butter takes these cookies to a whole other level! However, if you are short on time, you can skip this step, melt the butter without browning it and your cookies will still be delicious!
Once the butter has browned remove from heat, and let it cool to room temperature while you mix up the cookies.
In a large mixing bowl combine the almond flour, sweetener, protein powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix together until evenly combined.
Next, add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix with a spatula or by hand, until evenly incorporated. The dough may be a bit crumbly but as long as it holds its shape when pressed it’s perfect!
Roll the dough into approximately two-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 1 1/2 – 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Press each ball gently with the palm of your hand flattening them until they are about 3/4 of an inch thick.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges have begun to brown and the middles crack.
Cookies are almost always better under-baked rather than over-baked, so if they have begun to brown but aren’t fully cracking go ahead and pull them out, you will be happy with the results!
After you have baked your cookies, let them cool completely before serving.
If you try these warm, you may not be satisfied with the results! The sweetener used in this recipe loses some of its sweetness when warm. This of course has a huge effect on the flavor of the cookies! Let them cool to room temperature and then enjoy!
