Paleo Sugar Cookies

Paleo sugar cookies are a great treat that I love to give to my family without the guilt of refined sugar or artificial dyes found in store-bought cookies.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a Vitamix blender. Mix well on setting 3 until mixture forms a ball.
  • Place dough ball in parchment paper and let sit in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes. This allows the dough to firm up so it's easier to work with.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F/180°C.
  • Sprinkle table top or large cutting board with 1-2 tbsp (or more as needed) tapioca flour.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and place on dusted cutting board. Dust rolling pin and start rolling out dough until it's very thin - about 1/8 inch thick (or about the thickness of 2 pennies stacked together).
  • Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Keep dusting surface and rolling pin as needed.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place cookies on top - about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 6-8 minutes - or until the edges of the cookie are browned and center is firm.
  • Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Use your favorite frosting to decorate as desired.

Notes

Equipment:

Tip: These cookies are usually eaten right away in my house. But if you store more than 1-2 days, keep them in the freezer and take out when you need it. This helps to keep the firmness of the cookie intact.
