Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup coconut flour sifted
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For make-ahead, shape and freeze the dough balls on a tray, then bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time. Variations: add 1/4 cup chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve with tea or as a light dessert.
