These cookies taste just like almond cookies from the Chinese restaurant! With cassava flour, the gluten-free no longer need to be deprived of almost any treat! If you haven't baked with cassava flour yet, you're really missing out. Give these grain-free Almond Cassava Flour Cookies a try! You won't be sorry.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Melt 1/4 cup coconut oil, either in microwave or on stovetop.
Blend melted coconut oil with 3/4 cup coconut sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract and 2 beaten cage-free eggs.
Add 1/2 cup Otto's Cassava Flour, 3/4 cup almond flour, 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt, and mix until fully combined.
Add 1 cup slivered almonds. Blend into batter.
Divide batter into 18 cookies and place on parchment lined baking sheets. These cookies hold their shape perfectly (no spreading.) They can therefore be made into any desired shape, such as the heart shapes shown in post. Have fun with different shapes for different occasions!
Decorate with additional slivered almonds.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes, or until edges begin to brown.
Note: Since these cookies hold their shape perfectly during baking, they can be molded into any desired shape using cookie cutters. Once cooled, they can be decorated any number of ways. Use your imagination and send me pictures of your creations!
