Cassava Flour Shortbread Cookies (Vegan, Grain-Free)

cassava flour

almond flour

maple syrup

vegan butter, melted ((see notes for alternatives))

vanilla extract

salt

measure and mix dry ingredients

Measure the flours. For the greatest accuracy, weigh the flours with a digital kitchen scale. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cassava flour, almond flour, and optional salt.

add wet ingredients

Add the melted vegan butter, maple syrup, and vanilla to the bowl. Stir and blend to combine (it will seem dry, at first).

combine dough

Continue mixing, or follow my lead and use your hands, to finish combining the ingredients into a cohesive dough.

shape into log

Transfer the dough to a large square of plastic wrap, wax paper, or parchment paper (it is ok if the dough is slightly crumbly). Roughly shape the dough into a log, then use the plastic wrap to smooth and compress the dough into a compacted, even log (about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter).

chill

Place the dough in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or the freezer for about 20 minutes, until firm.

preheat oven

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line a large baking sheet / baking tray / cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

slice and arrange on baking sheet

Unwrap the chilled dough on a cutting board. Slice crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.

bake

Bake the cookies for 8 to 11 minutes until golden brown at the edges (they will still be fairly pale overall).

cool

Remove the cookies from oven and cool, on the baking sheet, for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack on the kitchen counter to cool completely (they will firm up as they cool).
