Makes 24 cookies

Total Time

2 hrs 25 min (15 min prep + 2 hrs chill)

Ingredients

Cookie Dough:
2 1/2 cups (315g) cassava flour
3/4 cup (150g) allulose or coconut sugar
1/2 cup (113g) grass-fed butter, softened
1/4 cup (56g) coconut oil, softened
1 large egg (50g, pasture-raised preferred)
2 tsp (10ml) vanilla extract
1 tsp (4g) baking powder
1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt

For Rolling:
Extra allulose or coconut sugar for coating

Steps

Cream:

In large bowl, cream softened butter, coconut oil, and allulose together using electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.

Mix:

Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined and mixture is smooth. Scrape down bowl sides as needed.

Combine:

In separate bowl, whisk together cassava flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed with no lumps.

Blend:

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until dough forms. Do not overmix to maintain tender texture.

Chill:

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours minimum. This prevents spreading and ensures proper cookie shape during baking.

Shape:

Preheat oven to 375F (191C). Roll chilled dough into 1.5-inch balls, then roll each ball in allulose until well coated.

Bake:

Place cookies 2 inches apart on lined baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.

Cool:

Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in airtight container up to 5 days.

Make it Good For The Gut (Optional)

Add 2 tablespoons plain kefir to the dough for tender texture and beneficial probiotics. Replace 1/4 cup cassava flour with almond flour for prebiotic fiber and healthy fats. Include 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed for omega-3s and digestive support. Use vanilla extract with probiotics if available for additional gut-friendly bacteria.

Remix Options

Gluten-Free Alternative: Use 2 cups (240g) oat flour for nuttier flavor and tender texture. Lower Sugar: Reduce sweetener to 1/2 cup and add 2 tbsp applesauce for moisture. Flavor Variations: Add 1 tsp almond extract, 1 tbsp lemon zest, or 1/2 tsp orange extract for different profiles. Spiced Version: Include 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and pinch of cardamom for warm spice cookies. Vegan Option: Use flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) and coconut butter instead of regular butter. Cut-Out Cookies: Roll dough 1/4 inch thick between parchment, cut shapes, and bake 8-10 minutes for decorated cookies.

Good To Know

Cassava Flour Benefits: Creates incredibly tender, grain-free cookies with classic texture that closely mimics traditional wheat flour results. Chilling Importance: The 2-hour chill time is essential for preventing spreading and achieving perfect round cookies with crisp edges. Rolling Technique: Roll dough balls between your palms until smooth, then coat generously in sugar for even sweetness and beautiful appearance. Doneness Indicators: Cookies should be set around edges but still soft in centers when removed – they’ll continue cooking on hot pan. Storage Strategy: Store in airtight container up to 1 week at room temperature, or freeze dough balls for up to 3 months. Decorating Tips: For cut-out versions, allow cookies to cool completely before decorating with royal icing or simple glaze. Troubleshooting: If dough is too sticky, chill longer or add 1-2 tbsp more flour. If too dry, add 1 tbsp softened butter.
