Ingredients
- 3/4 C almond flour
- 1/2 C + 1 T cassava flour
- 3 T coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 C palm shortening or grass-fed butter
- 3/4 C coconut sugar
- 1/4 C maple sugar
- 1/2 C cashew butter, unsalted
- 1/4 C almond butter, creamy and unsalted
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You may need two baking sheets, depending on the size you have.
- In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, cassava flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl using a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the palm shortening or butter and the coconut sugar and maple sugar. This takes about 2-3 minutes. Add in the cashew and almond butter and continue to mix, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally. Mix in the egg and vanilla until combined.
- Add in the flour blend 1/3 at a time, mixing thoroughly in between. Once everything is combined, use a small cookie scoop and scoop balls onto the sheet pan until all the cookie dough is used.
- Gently press down on each dough ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern. Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. When the cookies are done, place them on a cooling rack for a few minutes before eating.
