Ingredients

• 2 1/2 Cups Cassava Flour
• 1/2 Cup Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/4 Cup Vegan Butter
• 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
• 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 Teaspoon Almond, Peppermint, Orange, or More Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
   
   
2. In either a large metal bowl or a stand mixer, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. While you can certainly bring this dough together by hand, it will require some vigorous stirring, so I would advise bringing out the heavy artillery if you have it!
   
   
3. Meanwhile, combine the butter, sugar, and maple syrup in a small saucepan and heat gently. Cook the mixture and stir gently, just until the butter has melted and the sugar is completely dissolved.
   
   
4. Pour the hot liquid into the bowl of dry ingredients, immediately followed by the flavor extracts, and mix well. It will be very thick and somewhat difficult to mix, but give it all you’ve got and don’t waste time; it will become increasingly firmer as it cools.
   
   
5. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, press it into a ball, and roll it out to about an 1/4 of an inch in thickness. Cut it into your desired shapes with cookie cutters and transfer the cookies over to a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or piece of parchment paper.
   
   
6. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes, until the slightly puffed and no longer shiny on top.
   
   
7. Let the cookies sit for a minute on the baking sheet before moving them over to a wire rack to cool.
