Keto Paleo Gingerbread Cookies
Keto paleo gingerbread cookies recipe & content via Chef Vanessa Musi
Call them gingerbread cookies, gingersnaps, or ginger cookies — whatever you want to call these, they are amazing! These cookies feel soft and chewy with a spicy kick, and they use traditional flavors so they still taste like your grandmother’s gingerbread cookies. However, this recipe makes a keto- and paleo-friendly result.

Every holiday cookie collection needs gingerbread cookies. However, most keto and paleo gingerbread cookies create an undesirable texture or use too much almond butter or sweetener. This Bulletproof-friendly version simplifies the ingredient list so you can quickly have a batch of cookies — in 20 minutes, no less!
This recipe does use molasses for authentic cookie flavor, but keep in mind that it is a by-product of sugar manufacturing and can cause the same cravings and crashes as white sugar. This is a holiday cookie through and through — definitely save it for special occasions to avoid a dip in your performance.
Pair your gingerbread cookies with a buttery cup of original Bulletproof Coffee or warm bone broth for a holiday treat to warm you from head to toe.
