FlavCity (Bobby Parrish) author of the newly released 5 Ingredient Semi-Homemade Meal has just posted a delicious and easy gluten free shortbread cookie recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 3 tablespoons tapioca starch (or arrowroot starch)
- pinch salt
- 5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 5 tablespoons butter (or ghee, palm shortening) softened/room temperature (not melted)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix the almond flour, starch and salt together in a large bowl.
- Add the softened butter (or ghee/palm shortening to keep it paleo), maple syrup and vanilla and use a fork to mix everything together.
- Use your hands to squeeze the dough and bring it together.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and place in fridge for at least 1 hour to chill.
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Take the chilled dough and place it between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Put some tapioca starch on it so it doesn’t stick.
- Use your hands to flatten it and then a rolling pin to roll into about 1/4 thick.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes (I used a round 2-inch in diameter shape) and place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Use a fork to gently poke a few holes on top of the cookies.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes at 325F, until the cookies take on a little bit of color.
- In the meantime, melt the chocolate chips over double boiler.
- Let the cookies cool down for 1 hour before dipping them in the melted chocolate. The almond flour needs time to dry out, this will make the cookie texture just like shortbread.
- Store on counter in an air-tight container for 3 days.
