Ingredients:
-400g tapioca starch/flour
-75g rice flour
-150g sugar
-150g coconut milk/cream
-1 ½ tsp double acting baking powder
-food coloring and flavoring (optional)
What to Do:
Mix together 200g tapioca starch, rice flour, sugar, baking powder, add coconut milk and mix until smooth. Add food coloring and flavoring desired. Prove for ½ hour. After ½ hour add the remaining tapioca starch slowly and knead until dough is smooth, flexible and does not stick to your hands (don’t have to add all of the remaining 200g tapioca starch just enough to create a dough). Prove for ½ hour more. After the second proving add in the remaining tapioca starch to make a dry and crumbly yet moist dough. The dough should be crumbly but holds together when you shape it. Shape dough into small balls and bake at 275’F for about 20 mins. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
Note:
If dough is too moist the cookies will melt when you bake them, too dry and the cookies will come out rock hard, baking at high temperature will result in burnt cookies.

tt, I have just learnt a better way to crop my photos by studying yours. A big thanks to you! :)
Hi tt,
I made this three days ago but mine came out hard and in the middle it is chewy like it is uncooked. Can you tell what I did wrong?

Thank you. :-)
tt, I just tried to make it mixing half of the tapioca and the rest of the ingredients together, but mine came out crumbly already and not that smooth/sticky look. If I add anymore tapioca then it would be really dry. It seems like 150g of coconut milk is not enough. Could you tell me what went wrong.
Thanks.
The instructions says to
"After ½ hour add the remaining tapioca starch slowly and knead until dough is smooth, flexible and does not stick to your hands (don’t have to add all of the remaining 200g tapioca starch just enough to create a dough)."
If the dough is already workable then don't add more tapioca starch...
