For the Frosting:

  2. In an electric mixer, beat together the coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and butter until creamy.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and contents of the chai tea bag to the mixture, mixing until combined.
  4. Gradually add the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and tapioca flour, mixing until well incorporated.
  5. Use a cookie scoop to place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, then flatten them slightly with your fingers.
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Once cooled, mix together the frosting ingredients and spread it over the cookies.
  8. Finish with a sprinkle of star anise or cinnamon on top, and indulge in these irresistible treats!

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Flatten the cookies slightly before baking for even cooking.
  • Opt for heavy cream or plant-based cream for a rich frosting texture.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before icing for the perfect finish.
