This recipe came after I was asked if there was a gluten free cookie recipe that I enjoyed without nuts! Yes some people can be allergic to nuts and gluten sensitive – if that’s you, then this is a MUST READ!
The flour used in this recipe is Cassava Flour – which is from a root vegtable.
If you prefer to have a plain more sugar cookie version of this recipe you can do that by:
1) Removing the spices and orange rind
2) Adding in more sugar from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup
3) Pick your flavouring almond or vanilla and enjoy!
Once you have your cookies all mixed the way you’d like – place them on a tray in single tablespoon measurements and bake them in the oven!
NOTE: These cookies are very crumbly due to the type of flour you use, they taste amazing, but they are not the kind you can split in half and share!
