Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, sugar, and baking soda.

Add softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Combine until a dough forms.

Make the Cinnamon Filling

In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until well combined.

Shape the Cookies

Roll the dough into small balls. Flatten each ball and spoon some cinnamon filling in the center. Fold the edges over the filling and roll into a ball again.

Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.

Make the Glaze

While the cookies are baking, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Drizzle the Glaze

Once cookies have cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and enjoy!

Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Storing Your Cookies

To keep your cookies as fresh and tasty as possible, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for about a week, preserving their chewy texture and delightful flavors. If the humidity is high, consider refrigerating them for optimal freshness.

For those who love to prep ahead, these cookies freeze beautifully. After baking and cooling them completely, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for a couple of hours. Once they're frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They can be enjoyed later by simply thawing at room temperature or warming slightly in the microwave.

Health Benefits of Ingredients

In addition to being delicious, the ingredients used in these cookies also offer some health benefits. Almond flour, for instance, is lower in carbohydrates than traditional flour and is high in healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making it a great choice for those following a gluten-free or low-carb diet.

Coconut flour is another nutritious ingredient, rich in fiber and healthy fats, while adding a subtle sweetness to the cookies. The combination of these flours not only enhances the flavor but also contributes to a feeling of fullness, making these cookies an enjoyable yet mindful treat.
