Gluten Free Shortbread Cookies with Lavender, Ginger, Walnuts
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 11 minutes
Freezing Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 46 minutes
Servings: 8 serving
Ingredients:
1/2 cup tapioca flour sifted
1/2 cup almond flour sifted
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 1/2 tsp culinary grade lavender buds
4 tbs coconut oil melted
3 tbs maple syrup
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Stir until uniformly mixed.
In another bowl, combine coconut oil & maple syrup. Whisk well.
Pour your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth (slightly sticky) dough.
Roll into a log (about 8″ long). Wrap, and then freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
Remove your cooled cookie dough from the freezer & unwrap.
Slice into cookies about 1/4″ thick. (Alternatively, you can slice
what you would like to make & freeze the rest for later use!)
Place sliced cookies onto your parchment-lined cookie sheet at least 1″ apart – as your cookies will expand a little while baking.
Bake for 11 minutes, or until the edges are beginning to turn golden.
Let cool completely before serving.
