Equipment
- Food processor
- Silicone baking molds
Ingredients
Cookies
- 2 ½ cups blanched almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch nutmeg
- ½ cup melted virgin coconut oil
- 5 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
Glaze
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- Pinch salt
Instructions
For Cookies:
- In a food processor, combine the flours, salt, soda and spices and pulse until well-blended. Process in coconut oil, honey and extracts until dough forms. Gather dough into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Roll out dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper or press dough into silicone molds (I have a gingerbread man silicone mold).
- Bake cookies at 350° on parchment-lined sheets or in molds for 5-10 minutes, depending on shape size and thickness (keep checking so that they don’t brown too quickly).
For Glaze:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Dip the tops of the Cardamom Men in the glaze and allow the excess to drip off.
- Cookies should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and they freeze very well!
