Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened black cocoa powder (may use regular unsweetened cacao/cocoa powder)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened sunflower seed butter (or you may use almond or cashew butter)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Chocolate Coating
- 9 ounces dairy-free/dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- nonpareils Christmas sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, gingerbread spices, and salt. Next add in the sunflower seed butter, vanilla, and maple syrup and stir until a well combined cookie dough forms.
- Roll 1/2 tablespoon of cookie dough into a smooth ball and place it on a parchment-lined plate. Repeat until all of the cookie dough is gone.
Chocolate Coating
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave save glass or bowl, in 30-second increments.
- Working with a few cookie dough bites at a time, dunk or roll each gingerbread cookie-dough bite into the melted chocolate. Gently tap off excess chocolate and place on a parchment-lined tray. Sprinkle with sprinkles of choice before the chocolate sets and then refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or freeze for 5–10 minutes, until firm. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

I used these nonpareils Christmas sprinkles, but note these are dye-free, but NOT vegan. I couldn’t find any red and green nonpareils that were both dye-free and vegan at this time, unfortunately.
