Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Put the almond flour, powdered allulose, coconut flour, ginger, cinnamon, xanthan gum, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a bowl and mix well. 1:25
- Add the egg, melted butter, vanilla and molasses. Mix, then knead with your hands until the sandy, crumbly mixture comes together. 3:31
- Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it and chill for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 150°C (300°F). 4:58
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of baking paper, not too thin, and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Place on a lined tray. 6:06
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes. 7:46
- Let the cookies cool completely, then decorate if you like: the cook whips cream with sweetener and pipes it on a few (optional, see tip). 8:03
Tip. The description uses 1/2 tsp ground cloves; the cook swaps in pumpkin pie spice. No molasses? Leave it out. To decorate, the cook pipes whipped cream (1 cup heavy cream, 2 tbsp sweetener) on a few; not counted here.

Vitamin A3%
27 µg a serve, mostly from butter (71%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Folate3%

Vitamin B123%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg (91%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Vitamin B63%

Vitamin D1%
0.2 µg a serve, mostly from egg (72%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Omega-31%
0 g a serve, mostly from butter (69%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Vitamin C0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from ground cinnamon (73%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin K0%
0.5 µg a serve, mostly from ground cinnamon (44%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
