Instructions
For Cookies:
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the coconut oil, coconut sugar and orange zest for 1 minute or until fully combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again for 1 minute.
Add the baking soda, salt, cinnamon and almond flour to the batter. Mix on medium for 90 seconds, scraping down the batter.
Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and fold in the fresh and dried cranberries.
Allow batter to sit for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Place parchment paper on baking sheets.
Portion cookies with a cookie scoop and bake for 12-14 minutes. Insulated pans will need the full 14 minutes.
Allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
For Icing:
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, butter and milk and stir until mixture is drizzle consistency.
Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Sprinkle with remaining orange zest.
Notes
Make sure ingredients are at room temperature
Measure the flour by weight and not cups (the cups measurement may be up to ¼ cup off!)
The resting time is very important for these cookies. They turn out lighter and with a better texture when the liquid has time to absorb the flour.
