Great Aunt Helen’s (NEW) Ginger Cookies

1/3 c. coconut oil
1/3 c. butter
2/3 c. agave nectar
1 egg
1/4 c. yacon syrup
2 c. almond flour, packed
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cloves

Cream oil, butter, and agave. Add egg and yacon. Beat well. Sift dry ingredients together, and add to wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Spoon onto cookie sheet in SMALL 1″ balls — the dough will spread and flatten to about 2x the size while baking. Bake at 350* for 6 minutes. Makes about 6 dozen thin cookies!
