Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup pastured or organic unsalted butter I use Kerry Gold or Plugra
  • 1 cup coconut sugar or organic brown sugar
  • 1 organic egg
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt I use RealSalt exclusively
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease 2 large baking sheets or to save clean up, cover each sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until well combined. Add the egg and molasses. Mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, salt and spices until blended. Add to the sugar and butter mix slowly and mix until just blended.
  • Chill mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour but up to a couple days.
  • Using a scoop if you have it or a teaspoon, make small balls, about an inch in diameter, and place 2 inches apart on parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake a total of 12 to 14 minutes, rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking.
  • Remove from oven when cookies have spread and are a rich brown color. Let cool for 1 minute on the baking sheet.
  • Remove each cookie carefully and place on a wire rack to cool. Cookies will get crisp as they cool.
  • To keep cookies crisp, store in a covered container.
