Love me a soft, chewy cookie, this ginger one is so buttery, sweet and packed with ginger flavor, absolutely delicious! I used the packable brown sugar substitute to figure this one out because it has extra ingredients to make it taste more like regular brown sugar. Plus it has extra moisture in it which lends well to a softer, chewier cookie.
To figure out a chewy ginger cookie, I used the same ingredients I used for my keto chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe. I've tried changing these ingredients up but never get as good of a result as I do with these ingredients. Arrowroot powder and gelatin is the combo I use. I'm guessing using xanthan gum may give a similar effect as the gelatin but I haven't tried what ratios would work.

I love your site! Your recipes look fantastic. I have seen some I want to try but am wondering what you think might be the best sub for whey powder? I wonder if collagen powder might work. Thank you
These were baked at 375. They really spread too.
Mine turned out as flat as could be. What could have happened? I had these in the freezer more than 15 minutes so I baked them at 300 degrees.
Is there a way to print this recipe?
You are my hero! This used to be my favorite cookie before my T1 diagnosis. I haven't been able to eat one in 6 years. Thank you! I will definitely be trying this. But I can't have arrowroot powder. Can I use glucomannan or xanthum with the gelatin instead?
