Ingredients
The Cookies
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- 3 tbsp arrowroot powder (or tapioca) - this is what makes these cookies PILLOWS
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 apple, diced into small pieces (I like Pink Lady for this recipe, but any will do!)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tbsp apple pie spice
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
The Icing (optional)
- 1/2 cup coconut butter, melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp apple pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot powder (or tapioca), baking soda, and apple pie spice. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the almond butter, egg, maple syrup, and coconut oil, until there are no clumps.
- Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients, and stir ingredients together.
- Next, fold in the chopped apples and pecan.
- Refrigerate the dough for 10-15 minutes, so it gets nice and thick.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form cookies and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes. Note, these cookies are supposed to be soft and chewy, so don’t over bake them.
- To make the icing, melt the coconut butter and combine the rest of the icing ingredients. Drizzle over the cookies once completely cooled.Enjoy!XO
