My girls made sure I had treats for the feasts of St. Nick and St. Lucy too. It IS possible to make gluten-free, grain-free, egg-free, dairy-free, sugar-free shortbread cookies! This is the second year they have made them for me and they are such a nice little treat along with a cup of tea. 

Stamped Shortbread Cookies
(Paleo, AIP, Vegan)

Ingredients:

  • ½ c Coconut Flour
  • 2 tbsp. Arrowroot Flour
  • Pinch of Sea Salt
  • ½ c melted Palm Shortening
  • 2 tbsp. Maple Syrup
  • ½ tsp alcohol-free Vanilla Extract
  • 4 tbsp. Water

Instructions:

  1. Set oven to 325 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl sift together the coconut flour, arrowroot flour, and pinch of salt.
  3. Make a well in the center and add the melted palm oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir thoroughly. Add the water and continue to stir until you have a nice dough. The mixture will continue to thicken after the water is added. 
  4. Roll into one-inch balls, and place on uncreased cookie sheet. 
  5. Stamp with cookie stamp. (Tips for using stamps can be found here.)
  6. Bake at 325 for 15 minutes, until lightly golden on edges. 
  7. Allow the cookies to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from the baking sheet. 
  8. Enjoy!

    These cookies look lovely! I'm thinking about substitutions for ingredients I have on hand. Can xanthum gum be substituted for arrowroot? What about coconut oil for palm oil?

    You know I'm really not sure how those substitutions would work.

    Thank you! Is there a brand of alcohol-free vanilla extract that you prefer?

    Thank you so much for posting this recipe. These will be perfect for my daughter who has multiple food allergies. She would love another e-mail from your girls.

    No idea what's currently in your cupboard, but some suggestions: Xanthan gum would not be a good substitute. Arrowroot can usually be replaced with tapioca starch, potato starch, sweet rice flour, or even just superfine white rice flour and probably get acceptable results. Most of those are not AIP, but then, neither is xanthan gum so it sounds like you don't need to avoid as many things. Even cornstarch would probably work. Coconut oil would change the results and might make a delicate cookie come out so tender it doesn't hold together, but you can always try and see; butter, clarified butter or lard are closer substitutes if you can have them on hand. AIP recipes are especially difficult to modify further so do try a small batch first. Good luck and let us know if you find anything out!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
