Cassava flour and arrowroot starch team up here for a naturally grain-free cookie base that rolls out smooth and bakes up crisp at the edges with a tender bite in the middle. A gelatin "egg" gives the dough just enough structure to hold cut-out shapes cleanly, while melted coconut oil and maple syrup keep things rich without any butter or refined sugar muddying the flavor. Ceylon cinnamon and vanilla powder add warmth, and a touch of apple cider vinegar plus cream of tartar keeps the crumb light rather than dense. The chill-and-roll method means crisp, defined edges that hold their shape through baking, so these are perfect for cutting into fun shapes and decorating. Simple pantry staples, a straightforward roll-chill-cut process, and a satisfying snap make this a reliable go-to for a gluten free cookie tray.

Make the gelatin egg: sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 2 minutes, then set the bowl over a small saucepan of barely simmering water and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and slightly syrupy, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes — it should be warm but not hot.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
