Paleo Chocolate Cutout Cookies
(Paleo, GF, DF, Egg free, Nut free, Soy free)
Ingredients
Dry Dough Ingredients
- ⅔ cup tapioca starch
- ⅓ cup cassava flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ cup cacao powder
- 1 scoop collagen powder
- ⅛ tsp cream of tartar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Dough Ingredients
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 chia egg (1 T ground chia seeds mixed with 3 T water)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
Frosting
- 15oz can coconut cream chilled for 2+ days
- 2 Tbsp powdered coconut sugar (blend coconut sugar to make)
- 1 Tbsp tapioca starch
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together all of the dry dough ingredients and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the wet dough ingredients.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and use either a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until fully combined in a dough ball.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350F (177C).
- After chilling, roll the dough out onto a sheet of parchment paper, until it's about 1/4" thick.
- Cutout your shapes and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. You should get about 15-20 cookies, depending on the size of your cutters.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Take them out, and wait a minute or two before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- While the cookies are cooling, make your frosting by scooping out the hardened top of the coconut cream into a mixing bowl. Discard the leftover liquid.
- Use a hand mixer to whisk the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Add in the powdered coconut sugar, tapioca starch, and vanilla extract and whisk again until stiff peaks form. Chill the frosting until ready to use.
- Frost and decorate your cookies how you please! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They taste best when allowed to warm up to room temperature after chilling.
Notes
Save this recipe for any holiday! These Paleo Chocolate Cutout Cookies really do taste like brownies. My husband, who doesn't have any dietary restrictions, thought they were the best cutout cookies he'd ever had. They're seriously good and I stand by his statement too.
