½ tsp         Vanilla

1 Tbsp        Coconut oil

¼ Cup       Almond flour

½ Cup       White rice flour

Method:

1. In a bowl, whisk together sugar, coconut cream vanilla and coconut oil.
2. Then, add all the dry ingredients and mix well until combined.
3. Form a ball of dough and rest in the fridge for 10 minutes.
4. Roll the dough out to roughly 2mm thick – my cookie cutters are small, the star is 3.5cm in diameter, if you are using bigger shapes, roll your dough little thicker.
5. Cut out Christmas shapes with cookie cutters. 
6. Bake in oven on 160°C, 8 to 10 minutes. The time will vary, depending on the size of your cookies.
7. Let the cookies cool down before decorating.
