1 1/2 tbsp (11 g) coconut flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Make the crumb topping: combine almond flour, brown sugar replacement, coconut flour, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.

  8. Make drizzle: whisk Swerve Confectioners and heavy cream; add water to desired consistency.

  9. Drizzle over cooled cookies and let set before serving.
