Cookies

1 1/2 cups almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp cream of tartar

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup Swerve, Granular

1 large egg

1 tsp anise extract (I add an extra ¼ tsp because I love it)

Icing

1/4 cup Swerve, Confectioners

2 tbsp almond milk

1/2 tsp imitation vanilla

1.     Preheat oven to 325F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.     In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt.

3.     In a large bowl, beat the butter with the Swerve until well combined. Beat in the egg and anise extract. Then beat in the almond flour mixture until the dough comes together.

4.     Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and press the balls down with the palm of your hand lightly.

5.     Bake 12 minutes, until just barely beginning to firm up. Remove and let cool on the pan.

6.     Icing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Swerve, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Dip the top of the cookies into the icing and set back on the pan. I like to keep them in the fridge but they do not need to be refrigerated. They go great with your morning coffee ;)
