Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Cookies

Preheat oven on 350 degrees. Prepare a 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl combine almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda and salt. Stir.
In a small bowl combine all of the remaining ingredients and stir.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes. This step helps the ghee set up a bit.
Using a medium ice cream scoop, scoop out the cookie dough onto baking sheets. At least 2” apart. Press lightly with your fingers to flatten just slightly. Makes 16-17 cookies.
Bake for 12-13 minutes. Turn halfway through time.
Remove and let cool on baking sheet while you prepare the frosting.

Frosting

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well using a spatula. If you need to adjust the consistency you can add a teaspoon of almond milk to loosen it or add a teaspoon more tapioca flour to make it firmer.
When cookies are cool frost them and if you like you can sprinkle the top with lime zest or colored sprinkles of your choice. Enjoy.

Notes

If you can't find freeze dried dragon fruit then you can use any red freeze dried fruit or vegetable, beets, raspberries, strawberries all work great as a substitute.
