Instructions
Wet Ingredients: Cream ½ cup cane sugar and softened butter using either a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add beaten egg and ½ tablespoon unsweetened almond milk; beat again until smooth.
Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups super fine almond flour, ¾ cup cassava flour, ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt.
Combine: Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients slowly stirring by hand to combine until it has reached a dough consistency.
Chill Dough: Form the cookie dough into a ball and then flatten slightly into a disk shape. Wrap in wax paper and store in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (or overnight).
Cut and Bake: Preheat oven to 350℉. In small batches, roll out dough to an ⅛ - ¼ inch and cut out into whatever shape you would like (we like to roll it out with a piece of wax paper on top, but you don't have to). Place cookies on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 7-9 minutes, middle rack (the bottom should be light brown when done).
Cool + Decorate: Let cool for a few minutes on the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Once fully cool, enjoy or decorate any way you want!
Notes
Doubling: you can easily double this recipe!
Storing the dough: as the recipe card states, you will need to refrigerate the dough for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight), but you can keep the dough in the fridge for 2-3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months before baking.
Storing Baked Cookies: once the cookies have cooled completely you can store them at room temperature for 3-5 days or in the freezer for 3-4 weeks. If you freeze them, make sure you place parchment paper between them if they are stacked on top of each other.
