**Tapioca Flour Cookies**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup tapioca flour
– 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
– 1/2 cup maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Optional toppings: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, shredded coconut
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the Oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. **Mix Wet Ingredients:** In a mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
3. **Add Dry Ingredients:** Gradually add the tapioca flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix until a smooth cookie dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, you can place it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
4. **Form Cookies:** Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
5. **Add Toppings:** If desired, press chocolate chips, nuts, or shredded coconut onto the tops of the cookies for added flavor and texture.
6. **Bake:** Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
7. **Cool and Enjoy:** Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
**Serve and Enjoy!**
