INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 c coconut oil softened
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

For Frosting

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4-6 tbsp water
  • Turbinado sugar for sprinkling

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large bowl whisk together softened oil, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla. In a separate bowl whisk together sifted cassava flour, coconut flour, and baking soda.
  2. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until well combined.
  3. Use a spatula to scrape all dough into a ball. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and chill the batter in the fridge for 30-40 minutes if the batter is too soft. If you chill it overnight, leave it out on the counter for half an hour to soften.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Place another sheet of parchment paper on the counter, (or wrap a cutting board in plastic wrap). Roll out the dough on the parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use wet fingertips to help smooth the dough as needed, or roll bwteen two sheets of parchment paper if the dough is sticking too much.
  6. Cut out the dough with cookie cutters and place the cutouts on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll out the dough and repeat as many times as needed.
  7. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until just slightly brown.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

  9. To make frosting, slowly stir water into powdered sugar, 2 tbsp at a time, until you reach the right consistency.

  10. Once cookies are cool, pipe frosting over the edges of the cookies and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
