Healthy Ginger Cookies (Gluten-free, Paleo) Soft and Chewy, Without Molasses!

[@michelelawless6738]

I looked at the recepie I needed to know if subsututing equal amounts of coconut oil to the butter would work. I made the cookies and yes it did work.

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Oh, sorry about that Michele! I'm happy you made them anyway and you liked them. More people used coconut oil as well and left reviews on my blog, in the comments below the recipe. Would love it if you left your feedback there too. Thank you so much! Coconut oil is usually a good substitute for butter in most all recipes. The texture and taste changes a little but works great!

[@Rocamuller]

Me too❤

First time found a healthy recipe as delicious as the original one, baked and loved it!! More cookies please

I finally find a good gingerbread cookies that I really like,. it's lightly sweeted and moisture and healthy. I would add a little bit more ground ginger as I like it more ginger flavor. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for commenting with your feedback 😊. I love knowing you like my recipe. These are also one of my favorite cookies! I would love to see your cookies so next time you make them please post a photo on my website. You can also add fresh ginger to make it even more spicy.

Hi Adriana, just made your yummy ginger biscuits which taste marvellous thank you. We had trouble creaming the butter though so would it be possible to put the sugar in the liquid in lieu of the dry mix. Thanks again and God Bless. .Claudia ( in Australia )

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Sounds like your butter must have been still too cold. Try waiting for it to soften a little more so it’s easier to mix.

[@bebodacious2002]

LOVE TRYING THEM

[@sarahh8482]

Ghee is 'clarrified butter' that's makes it even more diary..... FYI..

[@jacquelineclauson4891]

Can’t wait to try making them, but maybe when you use white writing for the instructions realise that black writing would be easier to see.

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thanks for the message and hope you make these cookies soon. I am not sure what you mean about 'white writing for the instructions'. The written recipe is posted on my blog at livinghealthywithchocolate.com/soft-chewy-ginger-cookies-gluten-grain-free/

[@cquandraellis6109]

These look really good!!!! Are there any suggestions for a substitute for the coconut sugar? I am currently on a candida diet and every bit of sugar will make me sick and break out with eczema.

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

If you're on candida I suggest just omitting the sweetener altogether. The recipe will still turn out ok.

[@sjtench89]

can you help me it´s possible to replace the honey or avoid the honey and just use water

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thanks Mothe!

[@valerie4912]

Yum!! Will the taste be effected by not using butter?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Anytime you make substitutions the taste and texture change. However if you use another fat like coconut oil the recipe will still turn out good.

[@HolyBiblePsalm91]

Adriana, can I substitute coconut sugar with maple or honey?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

I have not tried it but I think it will also work fine. Coconut sugar is not as sweet so you may need to add more of it (maybe double or a little less). Please let me know how it goes.

[@HolyBiblePsalm91]

Absolutely. Thanks for the response I appreciate it.

[@gnaeem8994]

Hi, these look great. I’m allergic to almonds so can it replaced by any other nut flour?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Yes, any other nut flour works well as long as it's finely ground. You can sift your flour to remove the larger chunks.

[@ummehanikarjatwala8663]

Hey Adriana, I was wondering if we could replace almond flour with oats flour or coconut flour. Would be great if you replied. Thanks

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Coconut flour will not work, but oat flour works. Oat flour is drier than almond flour, so you'll need to add less. Please let me know how it goes.

[@linnylinnylinny]

This is so true, I just tried using oat flour at the same amount, didn't work. Oat absorbs liquid, therefore you need to add the oat flour little by little until you get the right consistency for your cookie dough, and less amount.

[@maryd6722]

These look delicious. How can I adjust the recipe to use date paste instead of coconut sugar?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Hi Mary, I haven't tried this recipe with date paste. I think it will work but the texture and taste will be different. Since it's sweeter than coconut sugar, I would add only 1/4 to 1/3 cup. Please let me know if you try it and how it goes.

[@lilianacarvajalvillalba4040]

Can this dough recipe be rolled out to make gingerbread men?

[@linnylinnylinny]

Hi, love watching your video. I'd like to ask, if I substitute raw honey with regular honey (with honey texture), do I still need to add water?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thanks 🥰 To be honest I think if you use regular honey and still add the water the recipe will turn out good too.

[@jenniferloving9054]

Love your recipes so much! I would to see your version of snickerdoodles!

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thank you so much Jennifer 😊

[@jenniferloving9054]

Living Healthy With Chocolate You're welcome.

[@Mita_2023]

How soft are these? If I wanted a slightly crispier texture, would I have to bake them longer?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

These are soft cookies and baking them longer won't change the texture. But you should try them cause they are really good :)

[@TH-uo6qy]

This recipe amazingly good thank you for sharing..

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@del_sole6516]

Hi I don’t have unbleached almond flour Would it make a difference when trying to bake the cookies?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

It does make a difference but it may work. Usually you'll get a denser cookie and you may need to adjust the amount added so that your dough is not crumbly.

[@unicornvloggers50]

Can I use maple syrup instead of honey? If yes do I still add the water too?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

I think it will work just fine if you just substitute honey for maple syrup.

[@juliatruscott5504]

Recipe looks yummy .. FYI ghee is not dairy free .. it is just clarified butter 🙊 do you think this would still work with egg replacer ??

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Hi Julia, I should have been more specific about clarified butter. As you know a lot of people with dairy allergies can have ghee and I'll be sure to be more clear next time. I have not tested this recipe with an egg replacer but it should work. Some people made it with "flax eggs" and it worked.

[@rajaaalalawi5966]

Thankful 🌹

[@humnahkhan9789]

Can we use normal all purpose flour instead of almond flour? Plus instead of coconut sugar can we go with brown sugar?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Brown sugar works in place of coconut sugar, but all purpose flour may not work so well. It has different properties and may make the cookies drier and though. You could experiment with it and adding less , maybe 2 cups instead. Please let me know how it goes.

[@Dadanijela]

Freeze or cool the dough? Love the cookies...

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

I usually freeze it because it's faster, but you can place the dough to chill in the fridge also.

[@bell1435]

Can you make healthy roll out sugar cookies? There're no really good healthy sugar cookies recipe out there, and your recipes are always the Best :) i'm glad to your next video, Best regards, Michele

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Hi Michele, the dough for these cookies is soft and the cookies after baked are soft and chewy. Sugar cookies are harder so I'm not sure. I think you should give it a try and see how it goes. Maybe omitting the egg would make a less "cakey" cookie. Please let me know how it goes.

[@jcjohnsong8570]

what do you think of this recipe >>> meaningfuleats.com/the-best-almond-flour-sugar-cookies-gluten-free-grain-free/ This recipe adds coconut flour so the cookies would roll out easily and crisp up on the edges. They roll out like a dream and hold their shape really well during baking. They are crispy and buttery on the outside, and soft on the inside. This might be the best adaptaion of the above KZbin recipe for a sugar cookie :)

[@2011ariesrules]

Adriana , Can I use Ground Almonds for this recipe? instead of almond flour? (flour can be a lot more dry in texture) any other flours that would work also? Many thanks! :)

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Almond flour is made from ground almonds. Some have the skin on which gives baked goods a drier texture, but blanched almond flour is what I use in all my recipes. You can you grind your almonds yourself to make the flour and I have a tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWm2eHqkrp2FeNU Be sure to watch until the end to see how it affects the texture of baked goods in comparison with store-bought almond flour.

[@2011ariesrules]

This where I get stuck because your so right the flour texture affects the cooking so greatly as I have found to be the case so many times. I have been using Almond meal (ground) for your recipes until I noticed you had Blanched almond flour in your recipes. Btw Almond flour is more expensive then ground almonds where I live. Thanks for the prompt reply :) Love your recipes for sure :)

[@aditya50499]

Thanks for the recipe... can eggs be substituted with flax meal paste ?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

The eggs give any baked goods a different texture but you can use an egg substitute to act as a binder.

Hi, what healthy option can be used instead of almond flour to make it nut free? Grain option is fine. I want to try making these for my little boy who started nursery and nuts are absolute no there. TIA.

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Are seeds allowed? If so you can use a seed flour like pumpkin or sunflower seed in place of the almond flour. A gluten-free oat flour may also work, but you'll need to add less of it since its drier and denser than almond flour. Please let me know how it goes after you make it.
