Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) grass-fed butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cup super fine almond flour
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions
