Yield: approximately 12 sandwich cookies

Ingredients 

• ½ cup softened butter (or palm shortening for dairy-free) 
• 1 cup sugar 
• 1 egg (or 1 Tablespoon of gelatin)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla 
• 2 Tablespoons melted butter (or palm shortening)
• 1 ⅓ cups of Otto's Naturals - Cassava Flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda 
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

• ¼ c. granulated sugar, topping 
• 1 batch of your favorite homemade frosting

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. 
2. In a large bowl combine softened butter (or shortening) and sugar using a hand mixer. 
3. Add egg, vanilla and melted butter to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until smooth. 
4. In a separate bowl add cassava flour, baking soda and cream of tartar and mix until combined. 
5. Combine dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well. 
6. Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll them in the granulated sugar topping. 
7. Place them on the baking sheets and gently flatten each ball. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the pans for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Cool completely before assembling the sandwiches. 
8. Pair the cookies into sets of two. Prepare your frosting and color it as desired using the natural food coloring. Place a tablespoon of the frosting between each pair of cookies to make the sandwiches.
