Ingredients

  • 150 g white rice flour
  • 100 g Tiger nut flour
  • 50 g chestnut flour
  • 50 g potato (or corn) starch
  • 150 g Vita Coco margarine (failing that, another but I haven't tested it!)
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 1 bag vanilla sugar
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 egg yolk (for browning cookies)
  • 1/2 c. coffee baking soda
  • Option: cinnamon

Instructions

  • Break the egg into a bowl and add the brown sugar and vanilla sugar. Mix with a whisk until the mixture whitens.
  • In a second bowl, mix the flour, baking soda (and cinnamon, to taste) and margarine, softened with your hands to obtain a sandy dough.
  • Stir in the sugar and egg mixture, then work the dough into a smooth ball. Film it and let it rest for 1 hour in a cool place.
  • Knead the dough and roll out to a thickness of about 5 mm. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush them with egg yolk to brown them, then put them in the oven at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes.
