Paleo & Grain Free Sugar cookies

I have always enjoyed making roll-out sugar cookies. I created this recipe for a valentine's day treat.
These have such a similar texture and taste, to the ones that I used to make. They have the perfect amount of softness/chewiness for me. I like my cookies to be on the soft side. You can bake them for longer if you like them crunchier. 
Paleo & Grain Free Sugar cookies 
Makes about 2 dozen 
depending on the size of your cookie

Cookie Ingredients
1/4 C. Palm Shortening  
1/4 C. Maple Syrup 
1 Egg
1 1/2 C. Almond Flour 
3 Tbsp. Coconut Flour 
2 Tbsp. Arrowroot Starch 
1/2 tsp. Salt 
1/8 tsp. Baking soda

 (extra 1/8 C. almond flour to roll out dough)

 Chocolate Frosting ingredients 
3/4 C. Coconut Oil 
2/3 C. Cocoa Powder
1/2 to 2/3 C. Maple Syrup(adjust to your taste) 
1/4 tsp. salt

 Cookie Instructions  
Pre-heat oven to 350' F. Grease a cookie sheet with palm shortening and set aside. 
In a medium size bowl mix the palm shortening, maple syrup and egg. Then add the rest of the ingredients and stir. 
Take out of the bowl and wrap with plastic wrap or put dough in a plastic bag, flatten in to a disc and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Roll out dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper. 
Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter and place onto the greased pan. Make sure that they are not touching. 
Bake for 6-10 minutes, or just until they start to get lightly golden brown around the edges. 
Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a plate or wire rack to cool. Make sure they are cooled completely before frosting.  

 Chocolate Frosting Instructions
Melt coconut oil in a small microwave safe bowl. Add the cocoa powder and stir. Then add the maple syrup and salt and mix well.
Cover and let cool in the fridge for 10-15 minutes, giving it a good stir every 3-5 minutes until it is thick enough to frost cookies.  

Enjoy!

Grain & Dairy free Peanut Butter Bars

These are dairy, gluten, grain, and refined sugar free! Enjoy!  These are the real deal! I love chocolate and peanut butter, so these are  a must have for me! They are so similar to peanut butter cups you buy at the store! These are my go-to treats, they are so fast and easy to make. I will just whip a batch up whenever I want a treat! They are a great on the go dessert, just press the layers in a plastic container and stick the lid on, let set in the freezer, and bring where you need to go!    I like these best at room temperature, they are creamier and richer. But don't leave them out for very long, the coconut oil in the chocolate layer will melt :) I made these the other day with crunchy peanut butter, they were so good!  Peanut Butter Bars Makes 16 squares       Peanut Butter Layer  Heaping 3/4 C.
