Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Wet Ingredients: Place 1 ½ cups coconut sugar and softened butter in a stand mixer and mix on low until well combined. Mix in 1 egg until fluffy, on med-low for approx. 3-5 minutes.
- Dry Ingredients: In separate bowl, combine 2 cups super fine almond flour, 1 cup cassava flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
- Combine: Turn mixer on low and slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.
- Juice + Add-Ins: Then slowly add in ¼ cup apple juice. If mixture seems too dry, add additional apple juice. By hand, stir in chopped apples, ¼ cup raisins and ¼ cup chopped nuts.
- Bake: Drop a rounded tablespoon or so of dough onto a greased sheet pan and bake on middle rack for 6 minutes. Let cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Make Glaze: Using a stand mixer or simply a mixing bowl and whisk, mix together 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon grassfed butter, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch kosher salt. Whisk or mix until smooth.
- Serve: Sprinkle some raw oats over the cookies and add as much glaze as you want. Enjoy!
Notes
- Regular/Whole Wheat Flour: you can substitute 2 cups of regular flour for the almond AND cassava flour.
- Glaze: the glaze is totally optional. The cookies are plenty sweet without it, but if you want to kick things up a notch .... the glaze is a pretty amazing addition.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container on the counter for 24 hours, then store in refrigerator for up to a week.
