This is a delicious sugar cookie cut-out recipe from Gabby at Beyond the Bite 4 Life. These cookies worked out perfectly! They have a unique taste, reminiscent of a graham cracker.

Tip: we used spirulina, charcoal and turmeric to dye the frosting green, black and orange for halloween cookies!
We hope you enjoy them!
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cup Cassava flour
-
1/2 tsp. sea salt
-
1/2 tsp. baking soda
-
2/3 cup non-hydrogenated palm shortening
-
1/2 cup maple syrup
-
1 Tbs. vanilla extract
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup non-hydrogenated palm shortening
- 1 Tbs. vanilla powder
- 1/4 cup maple sugar
- 1/4 cup Otto’s cassava flour
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat shortening, maple syrup, and vanilla in a standard mixer or food processor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Add the dry to the went and beat until just combined. (Our note: The dough is very wet, so I chilled it in the fridge for a couple hours before handling, and it made it much easier to roll out!)
- Transfer the dough to a large sheet of parchment paper dusted with flour, use your hands to pat the dough down into a round circle, sprinkle it with flour, and then place another piece of parchment on top of it. Use a roller to roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick, then cut into desired shapes, continuing until all of the dough is used.
- Put the sheet in the oven and allow the cookies to bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting, puree coconut milk, maple sugar, vanilla, and shortening in a food processor. Add in cassava flour 1 tablespoon at a time, then allow the mixture to puree for another 5 minutes until smooth. Once the cookies have cooled, frost them with the icing and enjoy.
