Keto Gingerbread Men


Print Friendly and PDF

I'm at my parents' house in St. Louis for Thanksgiving week, and that of course means tons of baking. These little guys were my first creation this trip, and I gotta say, they make me smile. I decided to make some happy, some surprised, some unamused and some upset, because where's the fun in 40 uniform cookies?! 


Ingredients:

Cookies
1 bag of Lolli's Gingerbread Cookie Clusters (use code CKK to get 10% off!)
1 large egg
8 tbsp of melted salted butter
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup brown sugar substitute 
1 tbsp xanthan gum
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

Icing
8 tbsp salted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup powdered Swerve
~2 tbsp heavy whipping cream (may need slightly more or less to get desired icing consistency)

Instructions:

1) Place the bag of Lolli's, large egg, 8 tbsp of melted butter and 1 tsp vanilla in a blender/NutriBullet/Magic Bullet and blend until smooth.

2) Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add the almond flour, coconut flour, brown sugar substitute, xanthan gum, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda. Stir well.

3) Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

4) Roll out the cookies dough on wax paper. (I used a top sheet too since the dough is pretty greasy, but you don't have to since it's not at all sticky). I recommend rolling it to roughly 1/3 inch thickness.

5) Use a gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut out all of your men. Continue re-rolling the dough until all of your dough has become men.

6) Line the gingerbread men on a cookie sheet. (The cookies don't rise or spread that much, so you're okay putting them closer together than pictured).

7) Bake cookies for about 14 minutes or until done. I recommend rotating your cookie sheet in the oven halfway if your oven doesn't cook evenly. 

8) Remove cookie sheet from the oven and allow cookies to cool fully.

9) Meanwhile, make the icing. Mix together the softened butter, vanilla, powdered Swerve and heavy whipping cream. 

10) Once cookies are cooled, decorate them! I used icing bags and a bit of food coloring.

11) Enjoy!
