Another reason to use up that bag of coconut flour you have sitting around.

Here is the very short list of ingredients needed:

• 1/4 cup coconut flour

• 1/4 cup gluten free flour blend

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) soft unsalted butter

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 large egg

• 1/8 teaspoon coconut flavor, optional; for stronger flavor

Here are some tips for this recipe from the Bakers:

tips from our bakers

• For flavored variations, add up to a tablespoon of lemon or orange zest (grated rind), or a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or vanilla extract.

• For crunchier cookies, substitute vegetable shortening for half the butter.

• This recipe can also be made in a stoneware shortbread pan. Press the cookie dough evenly into the lightly greased pan. Bake at 350°F for 22 to 25 minutes, until the edges are dark golden and the surface is pale golden.
