Paleo Ginger Snaps
Recipe Type: Dessert
Author: Purely Primal
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2.5 to 3 tablespoons of fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
  1. Mix the flour, butter, and egg in a bowl. Once mixed, add in the ginger, honey, soda, and salt.
  2. Drop small spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and flatten. You may see a bit of oil from the almond butter, but this is okay. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes.
  3. I made a little over two dozen cookies with this recipe. They will be a soft cookie, not crunchy.
Notes
24 cookies

Gather Up:

  • 1 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2.5 to 3 tablespoons of fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Note that I highly recommend grating fresh ginger instead of using ground ginger from your spice rack.  You will get a much better flavor and will not be doing the “ginger” in “ginger snap” any justice if you substitute.   You can also increase or decrease the amount of ginger depending on how “snappy” you want them to be. In my opinion though the snappier, the better 🙂

Mix the flour, butter, and egg in a bowl. Once mixed, add in the ginger, honey, soda, and salt.

Drop small spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and flatten.  You may see a bit of oil from the almond butter, but this is okay.  Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes.

I made a little over two dozen cookies with this recipe.  They will be a soft cookie, not crunchy.

There you have it, simple and delicious! Enjoy, but be warned, they are addicting!

  1. Was just wondering what kind of baking sheet did you use? And did you put parchment paper down or does it not stick? Also are they supposed to be chewy or hard?
    Thanks so much!

  2. We used a stone baking sheet. Parchment paper is not needed. They won’t stick. They are chewy cookies.

  4. thank you for sharing your recipe. i have a second batch in the oven right now. i added some pumpkin spice and all spice to my mix, and it is super yum! i love gingersnaps and i didn’t want to go this holiday season without them. i’m looking forward to my coffee in the a.m. 😀

  5. Yummy! Just made two sheet pans full! (Substituted Swerve in place of honey and added a tablespoon of maple syrup when it looked to be overly crumbly. Worked out great!). Thanks so much for posting this awesome recipe!
