Cookie
1/2 pound salted butter
1-1/2 cups dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
Frosting
1/2 cup icing sugar
2 teaspoons coconut milk
1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut

1
Melt the butter and allow to cool.
2
Cream the butter and sugar together with a whisk. Whisk in the eggs (one at a time), vanilla, and spices. Add the baking soda, baking powder and flour. Mix until just incorporated - the dough will be wet and sticky.
3
Scoop cookie dough and using wet hands form into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet (don't press down on the balls, you want the cookies to have that pillowy dome shape).
4
Bake at 350*F for 10 minutes or until light golden brown. The cookies should still be very soft and look underbaked. Let them cool on a rack before frosting.
5
While the cookies are cooling combine the icing sugar in a small bowl with the coconut. Slowly add coconut milk 1 tsp at a time, making sure that the first tsp is fully incorporated before adding the next. The frosting should be thick and spreadable with a butter knife. If not, add more coconut milk (sparingly!) or icing sugar until the desired consistency is reached.
6
Spread the frosting on the cooled cookie and allow it to harden before eating.
