Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • cups Otto's cassava flour
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with Silpats of baking paper.
  • Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until a firm dough forms. Flatten the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill for about 30 minutes.
  • Roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment or waxed paper to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into rectangles or use cookie cutters to make shapes. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden. Cool for one minute before removing to waxed paper to cool. Dip into melted white chocolate or chocolate chips, if desired. Be careful because they are fragile.
  • Serve immediately or freeze for later consumption.
