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.
