Cassava Flour Holiday Shortbread Cookies Food

CASSAVA FLOUR HOLIDAY SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Place butter, maple syrup and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and whip til butter is fluffy-ish. The butter and syrup will not incorporate completely, but get them at least happily mixed together.
• Add salt and cassava flour to butter mixture and whip until a nice firm dough comes together.
• Remove dough from the bowl and work into a ball with your hands, then flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Remove dough from the refrigerator, cut in half, re-wrapping one half while you roll out and cut out the other.
• Preheat oven to 350°
• Roll dough into ball and place between two pieces of parchment paper - roll out to approximately ¼-⅜" thick. Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter or use a knife and cut into rectangles approximately 1" x 2", placing shapes on a parchment lined baking sheet. Re-roll scraps of dough until all is used. Repeat with the other half of the disc. You should get around 3-4 dozen, although this will vary depending on the shape of your cutter.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges just become browned.
• Remove to a wire rack and cool.
• If decorating with chocolate glaze, prepare that while cookies cool by melting the chocolate and coconut oil in a double broiler until melted and fully combined.
• Once cookies are cool, dip in glaze as preferred, sprinkle with crushed candy canes and place on a parchment lined baking sheet so chocolate can set up.
