Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cassava flour
  • 3/4 cup maple sugar
  • 2/3 cup  room temerature ghee or butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • Optional natural food coloring like this

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*.
  • In a large bowl, beat the ghee on high with a hand mixer, until creamy.
  • Add the maple sugar, and baking soda and beat once more until combined, scraping the sides to mix well.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Add the flour and mix with a rubber spatula until mostly combined, then finish mixing with the hand mixer.
  • Place a large piece of parchment paper on the counter and place the ball of dough on it.
  • Flatten it out and place another piece of parchment paper on top, then carefully roll it out to 1/4" thickness with a rolling pin. Don't press too hard or the parchment paper will stick. Remove top piece of parchment.
  • Use cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes, then carefully transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet with a spatula.
  • Space cookies 1-2" apart before baking on the top rack for 10-12 minutes, until edges become lightly golden.
  • Meanwhile, repeat cookie cutting process with remaining dough by combining dough scraps into a ball and rolling it back out. Bake remaining cookies.
  • Allow cookies to cool before transferring them to a serving dish. Frost with vanilla buttercream frosting for best results.
