Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sweetener (keto-friendly)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tbsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, melt the butter and cream it together with the sweetener until the mixture is lighter in color and well combined.
  • Add in the egg and mix again until fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Sprinkle in the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed and the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour in the xanthan gum, almond flour, and coconut flour. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a cohesive dough.
  • Place the dough into plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to an hour to firm up.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to an 1/8th of an inch thick. Use cookie cutters or a glass to cut out your desired cookie shapes.
  • Place the cut cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  • Carefully transfer the baked cookies from the baking sheet to a cooling rack using a spatula to prevent them from breaking.

Notes

- Don't overmix the dough once the flours are added; mix just until combined to keep the cookies tender.
- For crispier keto gingerbread cookies, bake them for the full 10 minutes. For a slightly softer cookie, aim for 8 minutes.
- If the dough is too sticky after chilling, lightly dust your rolling surface and rolling pin with a little extra coconut flour.
