Frosted Ginger Cookies
This cookie is richly spiced and has the same taste and texture as the traditional ginger cookie – crisp edges with a soft center. Top it off with a tangy sweetened drizzle of cream cheese and lemon.

Ingredients
Ginger Cookie:
- 3/4 cup butter softened, at room temperature
- 1 cup monk fruit granulated, plus more for rolling cookies
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons glucomann powder
- 3/4 cup lupin flour
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
- 1/2 tablespoon xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons collagen
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Lemon Drizzle
- 1/2 cup monk fruit powdered, or the liquid equivalent
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 lemon
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- In a large bowl, beat 1 cup granulated monk fruit with butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in egg and molasses.
- In a medium bowl, stir together almond flour, glucomann powder, xanthan gum, lupin flour, collagen peptides, baking soda, and spices. Add to butter mixture and blend well.
- Fill a shallow plate with granulated sugar. Break off walnut-size pieces of dough and roll into balls; roll balls in more granulated monk fruit.
- Arrange on a greased cookie sheet, press with the bottom of a glass, and bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheet.
- For lemon drizzle: combine powdered monk fruit with lemon juice, vanilla, and cream cheese and stir until smooth. Scoop into a small ziplock bag and cut a small corner off to use it as a piping bag. Drizzle glaze over cookies once they have cooled.
