Strawberry Lemon Cashew Icing:

• 1 cup cashews (soaked for at least 4 hours or boiled for 45 minutes)
• 6 tbsp lemon juice (about 1/3 cup)
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 2 tbsp maple syrup (more to taste)
• 2 tbsp Nature Restore Strawberry Powder

Alternative Icing with Lemon:

• 4 tbsp lemon juice (or more as needed)

Instructions:

For the Cookies:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more coconut oil.
5. Incorporate Strawberry Powder: Fold in the Nature Restore Strawberry Powder until well distributed.
6. Shape Cookies: Scoop dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your palm or the bottom of a glass.
7. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Strawberry Lemon Cashew Icing:

1. Prepare Cashews: If cashews are not soaked, boil them for 45 minutes to soften. If soaked, drain and rinse.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine cashews, lemon juice, coconut milk, maple syrup, and Nature Restore Strawberry Powder. Blend until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more coconut milk or lemon juice if needed. Sweeten with additional maple syrup if desired.
3. Add Lemon Zest: Stir in lemon zest to taste.
4. Ice the Cookies: Spread the icing over cooled cookies and let it set before serving.

For an Alternative (Nut-free) Icing with Lemon:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the raw cane sugar and freeze-dried strawberry powder.
2. Add Lemon Juice: Gradually mix in lemon juice until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. Add more lemon juice if needed.
