/

Here's a vegan, gluten-free, and delicious gingerbread cookie dough recipe that you can prepare, freeze, and cut into cookies whenever you're ready to bake. These cookies are perfect for those with dietary restrictions and a taste for healthier treats!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend (with xanthan gum)

  • 1/2 cup almond flour

  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger

  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

  • 1/2 cup molasses

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

  • 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gf flour blend, almond flour, spices, baking soda, and salt. Ensure that your flour blend includes xanthan gum for better texture. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, molasses, maple syrup, flax egg, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more gluten-free flour blend.

Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a disc. Wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Label the bag with the date and the name of the cookies.

Store the dough in the freezer for up to three months.

When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F

Remove one of the dough discs from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface using the gluten-free flour blend to your desired thickness (usually about 1/4 inch).

Use gingerbread cookie cutters to cut out shapes, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, decorate the cookies with icing or enjoy them as they are!
