I have made these cookies like 5 times in the last 5 days. They just keep disappearing, so I have to make more. I mean it’s not like we’re eating that many cookies of course. Definitely not.
But the few cookies we have eaten, IN MODERATION, of course, have been delicious. Perfectly sweet, chewy, dense and also a bit light, and a bit crunchy, with sweet frosting. It’s no wonder the batches have disappeared.
So make these cookies for Christmas, and enjoy the holiday. But maybe make a double batch, because these cassava flour sugar cookies have a mysterious habit of rapidly disappearing and ending up in your stomach. Crazy, right?

I really want to make these, but I don’t have any gelatin or psyllium powder in the house. Any way I could substitute them?
Heather Resler says
You might be able to use an egg.
