Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter soft, for dairy-free use Earth Balance
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 cup Cassava Flour 240 G
- ⅔ cup Arrowroot Starch
- ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugar in a stand mixer until thoroughly combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.1 cup Unsalted Butter, 1 cup Sugar
- Add the egg and vanilla to the bowl and mix just until combined.1 Large Egg, 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- In a separate bowl, measure and sift the flour with the baking soda and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and keep mixing until everything becomes smooth and a soft dough is formed.2 cup Cassava Flour , ⅔ cup Arrowroot Starch, ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda, ½ teaspoon Salt
- Divide the dough into two pieces and then place half of the dough between two pieces of parchment paper until it is about ¼ inch thick. Repeat with the other half.
- Freeze the rolled-out dough (covered) for about 20-30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
- Once the dough has been chilled, remove it from the freezer and cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter.
- Place the cut cookies back onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and place them back into the freezer to harden again about 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake the cookies for about 8-12 minutes, depending on size.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before removing them from the tray. You can also transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
- Once completely cooled, decorate as desired and enjoy!
Notes
- Fully cream the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy.
- Chill the dough - I like to roll the dough before I chill it to make it easier to cut the dough into desired shapes.
- Chill the cookies in their shapes until solid before baking to help keep their shape.
- Do NOT overbake the cookies.
- Let them cool before trying to move them.
