Ingredients

  • 3 cups Sifted Almond Meal plus a little extra for rolling
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Pepper
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Liquid Coconut Oil
  • 1 Egg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together (almond meal, salt, spices and baking soda).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together (honey, oil, almond extract, and egg).
  • Create a crater in the center of the almond flour mixture.
  • Pour the completely mixed wet ingredient mixture into the crater.
  • Using a fork, start stirring the wet ingredients into the dry from the inside out.
  • Keep stirring until you achieve an even consistency.
  • Roll the dough into one large ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Dust a pastry board with some almond meal.
  • Place the chilled dough on top of the almond meal and dust all sides thoroughly.
  • Using a rolling pen, roll out the dough until it is about 1/4 -1/8 inch thick.
  • Cut out the gingerbread men and place on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Re-roll the leftover dough after you’ve cut out all the cookies and repeat the process above.
  • Remember that when the dough gets sticky, simply dust with more almond meal.
  • Bake for 13-14 minutes.
  • Let cool for about 5 minutes, then enjoy!
