Sugar-Free Ginger Cookies with Honey

I have wanted a sugar-free recipe for ginger cookies/biscuits for so long. I love the juicy bite of the fresh ginger!

Craving a gingery sweet treat but want to keep it as healthy as possible? These sugar-free ginger biscuits with honey are the perfect indulgence. Packed with the warm and spicy flavour of ginger, these cookies are not only delicious but also free from refined sugars and molasses. Enjoy a tasty and wholesome treat that your taste buds and your body will thank you for!

It’s easy to peel the ginger using the edge of a teaspoon, then grate finely. You can also optionally finely dice the ginger. Don't have fresh ginger to hand? Sub with another half a tablespoon of dried ground ginger powder.

These sugar-free ginger cookies are made with plain all purpose flour, providing a light base. The combination of ground ginger and fresh ginger gives them that classic ginger biscuit taste, while the absence of refined sugars keeps them more healthy than shop-bought snacks. Instead, we sweeten these biscuit treats with honey, adding a natural sweetness that complements the spices perfectly.

These cookies are not only delicious but also easy to make. With just a handful of ingredients and a simple process, you can whip up a batch of these healthy ginger cookies in no time. They are a great alternative for those avoiding molasses and refined sugar and looking for sugar-free ginger biscuits in the UK or anywhere really.

The dough is stiff enough to roll out on a floured surface and cut out with cookie cutter shapes. Or for simplicity, roll into balls and flatten to around 1 cm - 0.5 cm thick.

So, whether you're on a sugar-free journey or just want a healthier option for your sweet cravings, give these sugar-free ginger biscuits with honey a try. Your taste buds and your body will thank you for these lovely ginger cookies! Perfect to dip in your cup of milk, tea or coffee.
