Recipe type: Cookies, Gluten Free, Dairy Free
Serves: 12-16 cookies
Ingredients
- 1½ cups gluten free all purpose flour, I use ‘Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-1 Baking Flour'
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- Small pinch of pink salt
- ½ cup coconut oil, room temperature
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract
Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC (356ºF). Line a baking tray with parchment paper, set aside.
- Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda together in a small mixing bowl, mix well.
- To the flour, add all spices and the salt, mix well and set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together coconut oil and coconut sugar in a large mixing bowl until well combined and smooth, approx. 1 minute.
- Add egg and vanilla, whisk until light, fluffy and smooth.
- Gradually add in flour mixture, whisking well until it begins to form a soft dough.
- Using your hands, form into a smooth dough then wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Remove from refrigerator and form into balls/cookies. Approx. 2 tablespoons worth each. Place onto prepared tray, pressing down on them slightly. Leaving 2 inches between each cookie as they do spread.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Remove and cool on tray for 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
Store in an airtight container, in the pantry or refrigerated, for 4-6 days.

These are delicious!!! I’ll admit I use plain white flour and brown sugar...but so crisp and spicy. Yum! I don’t form into balls, just slice and place on tray and they’re perfect.

Hi Lauren! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed these cookies! I think using regular flour and brown sugar would have made these so so delicious, even more like a bakery style cookie! Great idea slicing them up, even bigger cookies to enjoy! 🙂
