Tips:

Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough. This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Arrowroot cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover arrowroot powder, and they can also be made gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. With their light and fluffy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
