Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 cups almond flour, or use ground almonds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the butter with the brown sugar, molasses and egg. In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, ground spices, salt, and ground almonds. Pour dry mixture into the butter-molasses mixture and stir well to combine.
  • With a spoon or your fingers, create balls of dough, about an inch in diameter, and place them on the baking sheets. Gently flatten with a fork dipped in water and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  • Using a fork, gently press the cookies to flatten. Sprinkle with the sugar.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies are set and slightly firm to the touch. Remove from oven, let cool on pan 5 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
