Add maple sugar and ghee to a medium sized bowl, mix with a hand mixer until well combined. Toss in the vanilla and egg mixing again until well combined, lighter in color and a little fluffy.
Add cassava flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Mix until well combined.
Break apart 1 cup of the granola into bite sized pieces & toss into cookie dough then mix until combined.
Scoop and roll dough into approximately 14 dough balls. Finely chop the remaining ¼ cup granola and place in a small bowl. Roll each dough ball in the granola to coat, then add sprinkles if using.
Place dough balls in the freezer for 30 mins if you want a round cookie. If you want a flatter cookie, skip the freezer. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass and bake.
Preheat the oven to 350° when dough balls are about 15 mins til ready. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place dough balls on the baking sheet approximately 2” apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes regardless of whether or not you chilled the dough.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet before moving. Store in an airtight container.
