How to make coconut flour cookies:

  1. Gather and measure the ingredients.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a small bowl: whisk together the dry ingredients (except for sugar), coconut flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and sea salt.  Set aside.
  4. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.
  5. To the electric mixer add the egg and vanilla.  Mix to combine.
  6. Next, add the dry ingredients to the electric mixer mixing until just combined and forms a dough. (See photos below). Tip: If the dough is too crumbly, add a bit of maple syrup.
  7. Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper, on a flat surface and roll out the dough and use cookie cutters to create shapes. You should end up with a baking pan of cookies.  The number of cookies will depend upon the size of your cookie cutters.
