These glazed almond flour cookies are gluten and dairy-free and get their festive color from matcha powder.
Equipment
- Silicone baking mold
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons melted virgin coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- Pinch sea salt
- Enough almond milk to make a good dipping glaze consistency
Instructions
For the Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- In a food processor, combine almond flour, matcha, salt and baking soda. Mix in coconut oil, syrup and vanilla until dough comes together.
- Press the dough into a gingerbread man shaped silicone mold. You may also roll the dough between parchment paper sheets and cut out with a cookie cutter. If doing cut outs, roll to ¼-inch thickness and place on parchment lined baking sheets.
- Bake cookies for about 8 minutes depending on size (watch carefully as they burn easily). Cool completely before glazing.
For the Glaze:
- Whisk together all ingredients until very smooth and dip tops of cookies. Lay on rack to dry and decorate as desired!
