Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with lightly greased parchment paper.

Using a large bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, and baking soda.

Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and palm shortening and stir well until a dough form and all ingredients are incorporated.

Roll the dough into about 1.5" balls and place on the baking sheet (the cookies will slightly flatten while baking). You should have about a dozen cookies. Transfer to the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes or until baked through. Remove from the oven.

While the cookies are still warm, use a sifter to top the cookies with powdered sugar until well coated.

Transfer to a cooling rack and allow the cookies to cool before enjoying.
