From Grazed and Enthused
Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked, cubed and cooled Japanese yam
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons coconut cream, refrigerated
• 2 tablespoons creamed raw honey
• 1 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot or tapioca starch
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. In a food processor, process the cooled yam cubes until fluffy and crumbly. Add in the coconut oil, coconut cream and honey and process until a smooth “batter” forms.
2. Add shredded coconut and sea salt to food processor and pulse until just combined and until a dough forms.
3. Using your hands, roll 1-inch balls of cookie dough in between your palms and place on parchment-lined cutting board or flat plate. Continue this step until all the dough is used up.
4. On a small plate, mix together the arrowroot starch and cinnamon for the sugar-free coating (see note). Lightly coat the balls in the powder by gently rolling through the plate, being sure to maintain the integrity of the ball’s roundness. You can gently tap the balls against the plate to tap off excess arrowroot. Just  a light dusting will do!
5. Place cookies back on parchment-lined surface and refrigerate for 1 hour until firm. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Best served cold.

These Paleo gingerbread cookies hold their shape when cooked and have a nutty flavor.

• Author: My Natural Family
• Prep Time: 50 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 60 minutes
• Yield: 15
• Category: Dessert
• Cuisine: Paleo

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour
• 3/4 Cup Tapioca Flour
• 3/4 tsp Ground Ginger
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp Ground Cloves
• 1/4 tsp Real Salt
• 3 Tbl Coconut Oil (melted)
• 2 1/2 tsp Pure Maple Syrup
• 3 Tbl Molasses
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
3. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, molasses, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and beat with an electric mixer until a thick dough forms (It will resemble wet crumbs that stick together when you pinch them with your finger). You may need to mix for a minute of two until the dough comes together. Don’t worry about over-mixing the dough, since it contains no gluten you can’t over-develop it and cause tough cookies. (It’s important to use an electric mixer or the ingredients won’t be able to combine enough to get wet.)
4. Combine the dough by pressing it together by hand, until it forms one large ball.
5. Place the dough in-between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to a 1/4″ thickness. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
6. Peel the top layer of parchment off of the sheet of dough. Cut out gingerbread man shapes with a cookie cutter and place the gingerbread men 1″ apart on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Let cool on the pan and store in an airtight container immediately. To keep soft while storing, add a piece of bread to the container or one of those clay bears soaked in water.
8. Decorate with desired icing and toppings!

NOTESIf your mix is either really dry and won’t come together to a ball or if you like a softer cookie AND you don’t eat Vegan, try adding 1-2 egg yolks.
