Grain Free Spritz Cookies

Despite being Sicilian and butter cookies being a staple in Italian Christmas celebrations- I had never made these cookies before! Turns out they are super fun to make- and REALLY delicious. Super buttery, kind of airy and crisp- they remind me a bit of a softer nilla wafer.

You'll need a cookie press for this recipe- I got a fancy one that was around $35 at Joan Fabrics- but I noticed they had a number of really inexpensive ones around the price of $10. You'll also need some Otto's Cassava Flour for this recipe- which is a great Nut Free option so that you kid can bring these cookies to school!

PLEASE USE THE GRAM MEASUREMENTS IN THIS RECIPE! The dough being the perfect thickness really makes a difference in the cookie press being able to work properly. Some recipes are more forgiving than others- this one is not. It needs to be exact- as long as you weight the flours in particular the cookies will turn out PERFECT.

This recipe uses white organic sugar as I wanted the cookies to turn out white and look traditional. Using xylitol may work but the cookies won't turn out as crisp. Granulated Honey would likely work to make these guys more strict paleo.
