Healthy Gingernuts

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 200 C. Line a cookie sheet / baking tray with baking paper.
2. 2
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond meal, coconut flour, tapioca, bicarb, salt, Natvia and spices.
3. 3
   In a small pan over the stove (or the microwave if that's easier for you), gently melt the butter, syrup and vanilla together over a low heat. As soon as they are just melted, pour the melted mix into the dry ingredients and combine to form your cookie dough.
4. 4
   Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture, roll in to balls and then flatten to form a cookie shape a bit more than 5mm thick. (The cookies will not expand or flatten very much in the oven.)
5. 5
   Arrange the cookies on your baking sheet. Brush with a very tiny amount of water (just a little bit on the tip of your finger is sufficient). Then, take a pinch of Natvia (between dry fingers!) and sprinkle over the cookies. Don't coat the cookies thickly; just a dusting will do, as stevia is very sweet.
6. 6
   Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, until the cookies start to turn a dark golden brown.
7. 7
   Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely; the cookies will still feel very soft when you take them out but will harden up substantially.
8. 8
   When cool, taste test! Dust with a little more Natvia if you need to. Enjoy
