Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Xanthan gum
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon Allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Butter unsalted and melted
  • ½ cup Swerve confectioners sugar substitute

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, blend together all of the ingredients until well combined.
  • Place the dough into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F degrees.
  • Roll the chilled dough out between two pieces of parchment paper until it is about ¼ of an inch thick.
  • Use cookie cutters of your choosing to cut out cookie shapes from the dough.
  • Place the cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes and let cool.
  • If desired, make an icing for decorating by placing a cup of Swerve confectioners sugar into a mixing bowl, and blending it with heavy whipping cream as needed.

Notes

Let the dough chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before you try to roll and cut them out. This makes the dough easier to manipulate.
