How to Make Arrowroot Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush arrowroot cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed arrowroot cookies and chopped nuts. Set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth.
  4. Whisk in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
  7. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the cookie-nut mixture until well combined.
  8. Pour the mixture into an 8x8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper (this will make removal easier).
  9. Press the mixture evenly into the pan.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly firm.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  12. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite frosting and cut into squares.
