  INSTRUCTIONS
  

  
  Cookies
  
  

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Microwave the butter for 30 seconds to melt, but it shouldn't be hot.
   
2. Place the butter into a mixing bowl and beat with the sweetener and salt. Add the vanilla extract, orange extract, and egg, mix together. Add food coloring to get orange color
   
3. In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients (almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and orange zest)
   
4. Beat in the dry mixture into wet mixture (do this in stages; mix in half then the other half)
   
5. Using a cookie scooper (4 tsp size; 2 1/4" diameter), place scoops of dough onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper
   
6. Press the balls of dough down until they are flat like a cookie. Bake for 12 minutes (at 6 minutes, take pans out, rotate positions, and put back in the oven)
   
   Chocolate Coating
   
   
7. Place your chocolate in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Place in microwave and zap it for 30 seconds at a time until the chocolate is fully melted. Make sure to do this in 30 second increments or you could burn the chocolate.
   
8. Using a spoon or spatula, scoop the melted chocolate and drizzle it on to the top of the cookies. Let the chocolate and cookies cool, and serve. Keep in an airtight container (best if kept refrigerated).

The xanthan gum I picked up on Amazon, it was super cheap for a pretty large amount and a little goes a long way. You could check the gluten free or baking section of your local stores, but if you can't find it locally this one will last a lifetime for a pretty low price. Other than that, I got everything else at my local store. Liquid aminos are an alternative to soy sauce, so you may be able to substitute but I'm not sure the ratio difference. You may be able to find them either near the soy sauce, or next to the Apple cider vinegar.

I got mine at the grocery store in baking near the redmills product. should be at whole foods too. or amazon has many kinds it is a thickener, you use tiny amounts

Here's enough to last years.

What brand of xanthan are you using? Most of the ones I see online have carbs...
