Shortbread Cut-Out Cookies
1/2 cup coconut flour Makes about 3 dozen
1/4 cup arrowroot powder
1/8 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup palm shortening, melted
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 T vanilla
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together coconut flour, arrowroot powder and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, melted shortening, syrup and vanilla. Pour into dry ingredients and stir together until fully incorporated.
4. Refrigerate dough until firm, about 15 minutes. On a piece of parchment paper or a silpat mat, roll out half of the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Cut out using cookie cutters and carefully transfer to prepared baking sheet. If the dough gets sticky or flimsy, place in freezer for a few minutes to firm up.
5. Bake cookies for about 8 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn brown. Keep a careful eye on the cookies; once they start turning brown, they'll continue to brown very quickly.
6. Cool on a wire rack. Decorate as desired. As you can see, my kids went a little crazy with the chocolate chips.
