Celiac.com 05/04/2022 - Cornstarch cookies are some of the easiest gluten-free cookies you'll ever bake. Made with just butter milk, sugar and cornstarch, cornstarch cookies contain no gluten, eggs, or flour. These cookies are tender, buttery, light, and fluffy. They're common in Brazil, where people make all kinds of variations. Best part is that they are delicious, so enjoy!

Ingredients:

2¼ cups cornstarch

½ cup grams butter

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

½ cup sugar

Directions:
Heat oven to 325-degrees F.

Sift the cornstarch into a bowl. It's best to sift it twice.

Beat the butter, sugar and condensed milk together in a bowl until well blended, about 2 minutes.

Add the cornstarch to the wet ingredients. Stir until there are no lumps.

Knead the dough until it is very soft.

Make dough balls and put them onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle a fork with cornstarch and press the balls to flatten.

Bake about 13 to 15 minutes, or until the bottom is golden when you lift it.

Remove and cool.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Ona Cookies
The first thing I noticed about Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Ona Cookies was their beautiful packaging.
Open Original Shared LinkOna cookies are "paleo friendly," which means they are made with high quality, nutritious ingredients such as almond and coconut flours, honey and shredded coconut.
Coconut was the first thing I tasted when I bit into one, which was followed by an accent of cocoa from the cocoa nibs. Their taste made it obvious that these cookies are packed with fabulous ingredients that also happen to be very healthy, and they are perfect for those following a gluten-free and/or paleo diet.
