Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sunbutter or nut/seed butter of your choice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup gluten free flour I used cassava
- 1 tsp. baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Mix together all the ingredients together in a bowl. The batter will be thick.
- Place parchment paper on a baking sheet (optional).
- Spoon out about 1 tbsp. of batter, roll into a ball and add it to the baking sheet.
- Flatten the cookies using your fingers, a fork or even the back of a cup. It can help to wet your hands or the cup ever so slightly to keep the batter from sticking.
- Bake for 13 minutes at 350F
- Allow to cool at least 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
Notes
As written the cookies are crunchy (but not crumbly) and have the texture similar to chipsahoy cookies. If you prefer a slightly softer cookie, you will want to add 2 tbsp. of maple syrup.
Storage:
- Countertop: 1 week in airtight container.
- Fridge: 2 weeks in an airtight container.
- Freezer: Freeze in a freezer safe container for up to 2 months.
- Sunbutter: If you can tolerate peanuts or nuts, you could also use almond butter, cashew butter, or peanut butter. If you need nut free substitution, you can use tahini.
- Maple syrup: You can also use honey.
- Gluten free flour: I tested this with cassava flour and tigernut flour. But you can also use an all purpose gluten free flour.
