Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup butter (or vegan butter, softened)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large mixing bowl, mix together the egg, sugar, vanilla, almond butter, molasses, and butter until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the remaining ingredients (including gluten-free flour) and mix thoroughly until combined. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Place about 1/2 cup of sugar in a bowl, if using. Scoop out 1-2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll in the sugar. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center has set. Cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
