Strawberry Shortbread with Ice Cream

I was very strawberry adverse when I was a kid.  I think it was the little, crunchy seeds.  My mom used to tell me it was okay, because she didn't like strawberries as a kid either, and now they are her favorite fruit.  

Fast forward 15 years and my mom was right: I love them.  I am not sure they are my favorite fruit, but they are up there. Especially when you combine them with an almond shortbread and ice cream.  These are delicious!  They look super fancy when you serve them to guests and (huge bonus) they are gluten free!

Choose the juiciest, best strawberries (see the guide for choosing great strawberries), and get your summertime dessert on!

Directions

STEP 1 

In a stand mixer, beat together the almond flour, coconut oil, cinnamon, sugar, molasses, salt, maple syrup and vanilla until a soft dough forms.

STEP 2

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

STEP 3

Remove the dough from the fridge 5-7 minutes before you preheat your oven so it can soften slightly.

STEP 4

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

STEP 5

On a clean, lightly-floured surface, roll out the dough.

STEP 6

With a biscuit cutter, or drinking glass, cut out the dough out in 2" rounds.

STEP 7

Spread them out on a silicone lined cookie sheet and cook them in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown, and set.

STEP 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.  Top with a scoop of ice cream and sliced strawberries.

Enjoy!
