Big & Chewy Paleo Gingerbread Cookies

Sharing is caring!

Big soft and chewy Paleo Gingerbread Cookies that you won’t be able to stop eating! No one will know these delicious ginger cookies are Paleo.  Perfect for a healthy Christmas/winter holiday cookie!

 chewy-ginger-cookies-7With Thanksgiving finally behind me (felt like I prepped since August!) I’m saying BYE BYE to pumpkin and HELLO to a whole lot of cookies.  In fact, beginning today I’m bombarding you with at least 3 Paleo cookie recipes – please consider this your warning.   But don’t be scared – be exited!

chewy-ginger-cookiesI know – you’re still working on Thanksgiving leftovers – I am too.  BUT!  December begins in a hot minute and it’s time to bake cookies.  Warm, chewy, soft sweet cookies.  I’m pretty happy about it if you couldn’t tell, since baking cookies is far easier than baking pies!chewy-ginger-cookies-2

To be totally honest I only break out the molasses this time of year – no matter how much I’m reminded that I LOVE it once I use it – it just doesn’t feel right after the holidays are over.  Big, soft and chewy ginger cookies have always been my favorite – way better than crunchy ginger snaps or plain sugar cookies in my opinion!

Prior to Paleo, my favorite ginger cookie recipe came from Allrecipes.  I remember years ago when my girls were 3 and 22 months, we made these cookies on the floor of our kitchen because they wanted to help me roll the cookie dough in sugar.  Even back then, Emily was a total sugar monster and had that job completely owned at not-even-2-years-old.   We’ve graduated to sitting on chairs now, and, of course a healthier, grain free and Paleo version that’s seriously tasty and very addicting!

Grain free, gluten free, dairy free.Last year, I made similar Paleo ginger molasses cookies, but, I wanted to see if I could get these cookies to be even bigger and chewier, because who doesn’t love a challenge like that?  I’m constantly trying to improve my cookie recipes by tweaking little things – and not complaining at all about getting to eat all my experiments.

The combination of an egg + egg yolk instead of 2 eggs, no stir almond butter (which I find lends to chewier Paleo cookies in general) and the right combo of molasses/coconut sugar makes these cookies extra special in my opinion.  You also get enough dough to make a dozen BIG cookies, which obviously is essential if you want to put BIG in your title.  Which I do.  Big cookies are better cookies, always.

Lastly, since we use only coconut flour, you’ll need to be careful to measure precisely and then allow the dough to sit and chill after mixing, since coconut flour is dense, expands a whole lot and needs some time to “set”.

Also, you can definitely adjust the spices a bit to suit your preference – I added a whole tsp of ground ginger which added a decent amount of “spice” so feel free to experiment to suit your taste.  Other than that?  I KNOW you’re going to love these cookies!  Let’s start baking!

Ingredients

  • 1 egg PLUS
  • 1 egg-yolk
  • 2/3 cup smooth almond butter stirred prior to adding
  • 2 Tbsp organic coconut oil solid but softened
  • 1/4 cup blackstrap molasses
  • 1/4 cup organic coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup organic coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • Extra coconut sugar for sprinkling - optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. In a large bowl, whisk (or use an electric mixer to combine) the egg, egg yolk, almond butter and coconut oil until smooth. Add the molasses, coconut sugar, and vanilla and continue to mix until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until fully combined - the dough will be sticky. Chill dough in the freezer for 5-10 minutes until it thickens and can be easily scooped.
  4. Use a cookie scoop or rounded spoon to scoop the dough in heaping tbsps on the parchment paper, then gently flatten and sprinkle with coconut sugar if desired.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until tops crack, don't overbake - cookies will become firmer and chewier as they cool. Cool completely on wire racks and enjoy!

    Thanks for the recipe. I am going to be attending a healthy collie exchange party soon and this recipe sounds great to try out. A couple of questions…Can I use regular molasses instead of Blackstrap molasses?
    What is the difference between the two?
    Thank you

    • Michele says

      November 26, 2016 at 7:25 pm

      To sum up, blackstrap is more concentrated, has a richer but less sweet flavor and is healthier generally. I’m linking to a general article outlining the differences if you want more info: http://www.livestrong.com/article/507716-what-is-the-difference-between-blackstrap-molasses-unsulphured-molasses/ – I would recommend blackstrap but if you can’t get it, go for unsulphured and perhaps keep in mind the same measurement will be sweeter, so reducing the coconut sugar might be necessary. Hope that helps! Let me know how it goes 🙂

    Can salted almond butter be used, or would the cookies be too salty? I buy salted almond butter for eating but will buy some unsalted for this recipe if you think the salted would negatively affect the taste.

    • Michele says

      November 26, 2016 at 7:30 pm

      I don’t think I’ve used salted almond butter for baking but I imagine it would change the taste at least a bit depending on the amount needed for the recipe. If you plan to bake with it on a semi regular basis, I’d say get some unsalted for that purpose.

      Brown sugar would work although it’s refined. I haven’t tried these with a liquid sweetener so I’m not sure how it would turn out, if I were to try I’d use honey.

    Is there a way to make these with an alternative sweetener other than coconut sugar? Possibly honey or maple syrup?

    Reply
    • Michele says

      September 20, 2017 at 3:01 pm

      I haven’t tried it with all liquid sweetener so I think the dry ingredients would need to be tweaked just a bit. if you want to try maple, I’d add 3 Tbsp instead of the full 1/4 cup and increase the coconut flour by 2 tsp. This is a total guess based on how I might test it myself, so I can’t promise the outcome. You also might need to chill for a bit longer before baking since the dough will be stickier.

      Yes that would be fine! Just a note – sunflower butter can turn baked goods green when it interacts with baking soda in the oven. Not harmful at all, just a quirk, and it might not be as noticeable since these are darker in color 🙂

      Made these with sunflower butter, they turned out horrible. I don’t think the oil is right to substitute. I have made many batches of other GF cookies with almond butter that turned out fab, so when I tried the sunflower recipe I was truly Disappointed. I will review when I follow the recipe using almond butter. Oh and yes they were green!

    So I am crazy…I like my gingerbread cookies barely sweet and SUPER spicy….so I tried this with only the molasses and left out the coconut sugar (without doubling the molasses or adding honey or something like that). And, I put > a tsp of ground ginger, plus about a teaspoon of grated fresh ginger, and a bit of black pepper! So tasty! It may have been leaving out the coconut sugar, but mine came out super fluffy! So delicious! I like this better than my old GF (but not grain free) recipe…but I may try chilling the dough overnight to see if the coconut flour texture is less noticeable (for the skeptics – I don’t care at all!)

    Excited because I make molasses cookies every year, but we are eating much cleaner this year, plus we have a constant issue with severe food allergies, so it would be great to find a recipe we can ALL eat. That being said, we have peanut, tree nut, and seed allergies in the family. I know it won’t be paleo anymore, but how do you think Wowbutter would do (soy “butter”) in this recipe? I’m going to try!!!

    Hi! Can I use regular granulated or brown sugar in place of coconut sugar? If so, which would you recommend? Thanks 🙂

    The taste of the cookies is amazing, but the consistency, not so much, but it could just be me. They’re more on the soggy side, rather than the chewy side, which I expect from a gingerbread cookie, but perhaps Paleo gingerbread isn’t supposed to be the same. One mention on prep, the eggs should be at room temperature, so they don’t re-solidify the coconut oil. That was a tad tricky, but other than that, everything was great.

    You saved Christmas! These have all the right taste and texture of an old fashioned ginger cookie plus they were so easy to make. Thank you so much.

    […] Use this recipe for the “sandwich” portion of the pies. It is a recipe for gingerbread cookies but seriously tastes and feels like Little Debbie’s oatmeal cream pies.
