Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup tiger nut flour (Break up any large clumps.)
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut oil (, melted and then cooled)
  • 2 Tablespoons cassava flour (Otto's or Bob's; do not use other brands, as they are too starchy)
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon molasses (blackstrap)
  • 2 teaspoons gelatin
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (dried OR 2 Tablespoons freshly grated ginger root)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup + 3 Tablespoons arrowroot powder (optional, use for shaped cookies; divided (do not combine the 1/2 cup and 3 T.))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together dry ingredients: tiger nut flour, cassava flour, coconut sugar, gelatin, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, sea salt and optional arrowroot (only use the 1/2 cup arrowroot if making shaped, cut-out cookies. Omit the arrowroot completely if you're making simple flat round cookies.)
  • In 2-cup glass measuring cup or small bowl, combine wet ingredients: avocado oil, maple syrup, coconut oil and molasses. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Combine. (If you included arrowroot, it will be easier to combine by using an electric mixer.)
  • If you're making shaped, cut-out cookies, sprinkle 2 Tablespoons arrowroot on a work surface. Top with finished cookie dough. Use your hands to flatten and spread out the dough. Sprinkle with remaining arrowroot and roll out to about 1/4" thickness. (You don't need to be finicky or worried about doing any of this perfectly. The dough is easy to work with.)
  • Cut out shapes and transfer them to your prepared cookie sheet, leaving about 1" between dough edges.If you're not making shaped, cut-out cookies. Simply scoop batter into mounds on prepared cookie sheet. Space dough apart by about 2".
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until puffed all over and set looking, especially around the edges.
  • Cool completely on rack. Then decorate if desired.
