Servings: 20 cookies
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Mixture for sprinkling:

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees ºF.

Stir the butter/coconut oil, honey, egg, and vanilla until uniform. (Mixing this recipe by hand works fine.)

In a separate bowl, mix the nut flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Add dry ingredients into the wet. Allow to sit a few minutes to thicken.

Use a cookie scoop to place balls of dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten a little with a buttered spatula.

Sprinkle tops with cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Bake approximately 12 minutes, until slightly golden. Cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet before moving them to a rack.

Keep in an air-tight container in the fridge.

*You can grind your own almond flour by placing whole almonds in a blender/food processor and blending until you get a fine meal.

BATTER

TOPPING

GLAZE

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees ºF. Generously butter a 9×13″ pan.

Prepare the batter by combining the flours, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in these ingredients and add in the honey, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk these together and slowly begin incorporating the surrounding dry ingredients. When these are partially mixed together, pour in the melted coconut oil. Stir together just until combined. Scrape the batter out into prepared 9×13″ pan.

Prepare the topping by combining the butter and honey together in a small saucepan. Put this over low heat and allow them to melt together. Remove from heat and stir in coconut flour and cinnamon.

Scoop the topping on top of the batter into even piles and then use a butter knife to swirl this roughly into the batter. This will be a little messy and may not swirl perfectly but it will all incorporate during baking.

Place cake in oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until center is just barely set when a toothpick or knife is inserted.

Remove and allow to cool to room temperature.

Prepare glaze by creaming together all ingredients with a fork. Spread this thinly over cake. Slice and serve.
