I made these little beauties on a whim. I couldn't decide just how indulgent I wanted to be on Valentine's Day - but I've been looking at those heart shaped cookies cutter I bought a long time ago and have been dying for an excuse to use them. So what better day than Valentine's Day, amiright?!
So they're really not exactly what I would call "holistic", but they sure are better than a lot of other crap that's out there. So I'm still calling them decently healthy. Take it or leave it.
Here they are:
Cinnamon Love Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup pastured butter at room temp (you could probably use coconut oil)
3/4 c raw honey
1 egg
1 Tbsp vanilla extract or powder
1 c buckwheat flour (I used sprouted flour)
1 c rye flour
1 c tapioca or arrowroot flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp cinnamon powder
Icing: (I only made enough for half the cookies. Double this if you want to do them all!)
1/4 c coconut oil
1/4 c icing sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla bean powder
Directions:
- preheat oven to 350F
- cream together butter, honey, egg, and vanilla
- in a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients together
- slowly work dry ingredients into creamed butter mixture until smooth
- roll out onto counter top, using flour or icing sugar to coat
- cut out desired shape (I strongly recommend hearts ;) - place on cookie sheet (best on stoneware) and bake for 20 mins, or until edges JUST start to turn golden - set on cooling rack to completely cool
- for icing, cream mixture together (do not melt coconut oil or it will be too thin to stay on the cookies)
- put it piping bag and decorate as desired
Voila!
Yummy cinnamon love cookies for your special person/ people
Love to you all, Friends!
