No-added-sugar version: 365 kcal and 6.7 g sugars per serving.

Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Ginger spice cookies

Spiced cookies, crisp outside and soft inside.

Rico's note: Bake these on the first cold weekend of the year — the smell of ginger and cinnamon in the oven is a sure sign winter has arrived.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups almond flour (150 g / 5½ oz)
  • ½ cup coconut flour (55 g / 2 oz)
  • ⅓ cup white or brown sugar (65 g / 2¼ oz) — no added sugar: ½ cup erythritol (95 g)
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger (6 g)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (2 g)
  • ½ tsp ground cloves (2 g)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (5 g)
  • 1 egg (50 g / 1¾ oz)
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil (67 g / 2¼ oz)

In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: the flours, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and baking soda.
