Preparation

Step 1

Combine all the flours and almond meal, and xanthan gum, salt, powdered sugar. Mix well then add the coconut.

In the same bowl -- in the center, add the heavy cream, vanilla, coconut extract and eggs, mix these together then
you'll want to add the cold butter (which should be cut into cubes). Mix the dough with clean hands, so that the butter melts with the body heat from your hands, lastly add granulated sugar.

Stick in the freezer (yep--freezer :) for 30 minutes, then knead in the powdered sugar.

Roll dough out on parchment paper and cut with a small cookie cutter (I used the top of a shot glass :D).

Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are golden.
