Makes 16 cookies
Ingredients:
½ cup almond flour
2 tbsp flaxseed meal
2 scoops Collagen Co Glow Shake
¼ cup plain flour (plus extra for rolling)
1 small egg (or ½ large egg, beaten)
1 ½ tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
25 g butter, melted
1 tbsp brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ginger (or ½ tsp if you like it spicy!)
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp baking powder
Dash of warm water, if needed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 160°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients (almond flour, flaxseed meal, Collagen Co Glow Shake, plain flour, spices, baking powder).
Add wet ingredients (egg, melted butter, sugar-free maple syrup, brown sugar) and mix until a dough forms. Add a dash of warm water if the dough is too crumbly.
Roll dough between two sheets of baking paper, lightly dusted with flour to prevent sticking.
Cut into small gingerbread shapes (~16 cookies).
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them — ovens vary!
Optional: Decorate with frosting or icing (I used ready-to-go icing from Coles/Woolworths).
