I am so excited to have this recipe turn out so well. It was a total experiment! Wanted something pepperminty and had a dinner coming up, so I took a break from studying to play and success!
Pre-heat oven to 350. Line one large or two medium cookie sheets with parchment paper.
The cookies (put all in a food processor):
1 cup whole pecan halves
1 cup tapioca flour
1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup palm kernal shortening
1 tsp oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp crushed peppermint candies (Cracker Barrel sells corn-free ones-yay)
Once everything is in the processory bowl, pulse until all ingredients are mixed together and resemble fine crumbs. After all is mixed, take teaspoon sized portions and roll into balls. Coat in grain-free peppermint powdered sugar (recipe below), place on cookie sheet about 1-1/2 inches apart.
Bake for 11-13 minutes.
Allow to cool (or eat warm, they're still good!); they'll be crunchy and melt in your mouth at the same time!
Grain-free powdered sugar:
1/2 stick peppermint cane or 1-1/2 Tbsp crushed peppermint candy
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp tapioca flour
I put it all in my Vita-Mix blender and ground until a very fine texture.
Experiment!! But most of all - HAVE FUN!! Merry Christmas!!!
