Preheat the oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl combine softened butter (or shortening) and sugar using a hand mixer.
Add egg, vanilla and melted butter to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl add cassava flour, baking soda and cream of tartar and mix until combined.
Combine dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well.
Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll them in the granulated sugar topping.
Place them on the baking sheets and gently flatten each ball. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the pans for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Cool completely before assembling the sandwiches.
Pair the cookies into sets of two. Prepare your frosting and color it as desired using the natural food coloring. Place a tablespoon of the frosting between each pair of cookies to make the sandwiches.
