Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups arrowroot starch/flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, sift together arrowroot flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, just until incorporated. Beat in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl, starting at low speed to moisten and then increasing the speed to incorporate fully.
- Beat just until the batter is smooth. DO not overbeat.
- Transfer the batter into a cookie press. Dispense the batter in a single press onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 1 and ½ inch space in between.
- Bake in the preheated 350 F oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the undersides are starting to turn golden.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan. To remove, simply slide a cookie with your fingers until it releases. Do not use a spatula to lift the cookies as they're fragile and might break.

Notes
- If you do not have a cookie press, refrigerate the dough for about 10 to 15 minutes to firm up and then shape into 1-inch size balls. Arrange the dough balls in a single layer on ungreased and unlined baking sheets. Use the tines of a fork to press the dough ball into a disc.
- For a deeper, toasted flavor, bake the cookies for 1 to 2 minutes more,or until the sides start to turn deeply golden. For a more delicate flavor, bake the cookies just until the sides are very lightly golden.
