Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour, well packed
- 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1 tbsp molasses
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 1/4 tsp orange extract
Icing
- 2 ounces white chocolate

Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine all dry ingredients, whisk to combine and set aside.
- In a large bowl cream together butter and coconut palm sugar using an electric beater. You are looking for a light fluffy texture. Once that texture has been achieved add the other wet ingredients, except the orange zest, and beat well until combined. Stir in orange zest.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and using a wooden spoon mix together until well combined.
- Wrap the dough in parchment or wax paper and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight, or in the freezer for 30 minutes. The dough will need to be properly chilled.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll into golf ball size balls, place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Using your hand, gently press down on the balls to flatten slightly.
- Place in a 350° oven for 6-8 minutes, being careful not to burn the cookies.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Prepare icing by melting white chocolate and drizzling on cookies, top with additional orange zest.
- Store in the refrigerator for 6 days.
