Keto Gingerbread Cookies

One of my favorite kinds of holiday desserts to make is gingerbread cookies! I love how fun and versatile they are and how they can be cut into virtually any shape. Their dough and texture makes them great for shaping and decorating, more so than many other types of cookies! Not to mention, they taste SO yummy.

These are perfect to bake up for holiday parties. People will love them, AND you will be guaranteed to have a low carb sweet treat to munch on yourself!

Ingredients

• ½ cup + 2 tbsp (70g) coconut flour
• ½ cup (96g) classic monk fruit sweetener
• 2 tbsp + 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp ground nutmeg
• 2 ½ tsp  ground ginger
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp ground allspice
• 1/16 tsp ground cloves
• 4 large eggs, divided
• ⅓ cup (85g) SunButter, softened
• ¼ cup (60 mL) heavy whipping cream
• Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together coconut flour, monk fruit sweetener, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, ground allspice, and ground cloves. Add 3 eggs, SunButter, and heavy cream and mix with an electric mixer until well-combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, transfer to refrigerator, and chill for 1 hour.
2. After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 300 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Spray two pieces of parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray. Lay one piece down, spray side up, placing chilled dough in center. Lay the other piece down, spray side down so it touches the dough, and lightly press down. Using a rolling pin, roll dough until it is an even layer, being careful to not roll dough too thin. Using cookie cutters, cut dough into desired cookie shape. Transfer cut cookies to prepared baking sheet.
4. Whisk remaining egg in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush cookies with egg wash. Bake cookies until cooked throughout, about 30 minutes.

Recipe Notes:

• Optionally, you can pulse monk fruit sweetener in a food processor to sprinkle atop cookies for a festive garnish!
