Sticky date cookies with caramel icing

Makes 20

Ingredients

½ cup tapioca flour

½ cup coconut flour

1 cup pitted medjool dates, about 10

½ cup of boiling water

¼ cup of coconut oil

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp of ground dried ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Method

Preheat oven to 180c

Soak the dates in the boiling water for a few minutes until softened. Then add your oil, baking soda and vanilla. Beat together, leave to cool for 5 minutes. In a bowl add your 2 flours, salt, spices, and then add your date mix. Beat and then add your eggs. Mix well then take tbsp spoonful’s of the mix and roll into a ball, place on a lined baking tray and flatten with your fingers. Make for 12-15 minutes until browned around the edges. When cool ice with caramel icing. 

This is ¼ cup of powdered coconut sugar, 1 tbsp coconut oil, 1 tsp tapioca flour, mix well together, add a splash of water if need to make an icing consistency. You can make powdered coconut sugar in a spice grinder or thermie. You can still make it if it’s not powdered. The icing does not make much as it is sweet so I only use a little bit on each cookie.
