This streamlined recipe for this gluten-free, low carb Ginger Cookie Recipe will take you about 10 minutes to put together and 10-15 minutes to bake.
That is a little dangerous if you think about it.
I have to say, these are the BEST low carb cookies I’ve ever tasted.
Many of those taste like fiber or sawdust. These do not. These taste like COOKIES. Real, really delicious cookies! Now let’s get to cooking…
HOW TO MAKE GINGER COOKIES
1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
3. Using a hand blender, cream together the butter, agave nectar, egg, and water.
4. To this mixture, add all the dry ingredients and mix well on low speed.
5. Roll into 2 teaspoon balls and arrange on a baking tray with parchment paper. They don’t really spread too much but leave a little room between them.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the tops have lightly browned.
7. Once cooled, store in an air-tight container. For like, the one hour these cookies will be around before you eat them all.
WHY ARE THEY CALLED GINGER SNAPS?
They call them ginger snaps because they’re made with ginger and they are typically a crispier, crunchier cookie that makes a “snap” sound when they’re consumed.
This gluten-free Ginger Cookie Recipe is basically just a ginger snap cookie baked with lower carb ingredients like almond flour and Truvia. They do, however, still have that delightful texture and “snap” you’d expect from a good ginger snap.
HOW LONG DO GINGER SNAP COOKIES LAST?
Now it depends on what you mean by “last”. This Ginger Cookie Recipe will keep in an airtight container for about 2-3 weeks. However, don’t expect them to last that long as they’ll more than likely all be eaten before then.
DO THESE KETO COOKIES USE ALMOND FLOUR?
They sure do. That’s what helps keep them low carb. But don’t fret. The unconventional flour won’t change the flavor or texture of these cookies one bit. With the influx of people eating low carb and gluten-free, you can easily find it in the baking aisle of your local grocer.
