Ginger Spice Cookies


And its monday again already?! I had an awesome weekend with my man. Saturday we relaxed, correction, I relaxed and Scott organized the garage. It looks SOOOOO good. My anxiety doesnt get all fired up when I step out there now. Thanks goodness. So that afternoon we decided to head over to Medford for some shopping and dinner. We ate at Misoya. It was really good! Sushi places are always iffy cause you never know if it's gonna suck but I was impressed. MMMM nom nom! Then Sunday we went for a motorcycle ride. My first time on Scott's BA bike. So much fun! Had a blast and the days weather was AMAZING. Like 75 and sunny. Then family dinner at the Pierson residence. Perfect weekend :))

 
 
So I started a project today. I am currently taking a break from it because my arms were about ready to fall off from vibration. I am taking on the kitchen cabinets and sanding them down to stain them a different color. YAY for home projects! I'll keep you updated on the progress. I am sure a couple days into I wont be so excited. But it's going to look awesome when its all done!

These cookies are very holiday. Make them and feed them to people. That's what I do.

Ginger Spice Cookies

2 1/2 cups almond flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Vanilla Glaze
1 tbsp raw honey
2 tbsp coconut butter
2 tbsp coconut milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350F

In a mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients and add in the wet. Stir until well combined. Scoop about a golf ball size of dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Softly press down to flatten a bit. Cook for about 20 minutes. Let cool completely.

 
While your cookies are baking and cooling make your icing. In a food processor combine all ingredients and mix until a cream is made. Once cookies are cool put a little frosting on top and enjoy!
