COOKIE SCOOP
- Place the dates, almond flour and almond butter in a food processor, and pulse till everything is finely ground and the mixture holds together when squeezed.
- Combine the coconut sugar and Spicy Baking Blend in a small bowl.
- Using a small cookie scoop (or a tablespoon), scoop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Working with one scoop at a time, roll it in the sugar-spice mixture, then gently roll into a ball. You can give it another coat of the sugar-spice mixture if you like. Return to your baking sheet and repeat with the remaining scoops.
- Refrigerate till firm, then keep stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
Brown sugar can be substituted for the coconut sugar if you prefer.
Any nut or seed butter can replace the almond butter.
Ginger + Warming Spices
spice blend collab
I did not grow up baking, nor was I exposed to baking spices beyond cinnamon. As I started my baking journey as an adult, I steered clear of unfamiliar spices – sticking to that cinnamon, with the occasional foray into nutmeg and cloves. Along the way I discovered what would quickly become my most loved and used spices – cardamom and ginger – along with the beautiful lift that a bit of salt gives to a sweeter recipe. This blend reflects how I bake today, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
