I am a HUGE fan of any jelly type cookie - fruit bars, berry tarts, jam cookies…I am like a month to a flame whenever I see them. Since I have never made them myself, I decided to make these thumb print cookies over the weekend. They're super easy and take no time at all. Plus, this recipe is gluten free, refined sugar free and great to make with the kiddos.
What you need (makes about 10 - 12 cookies)
2 cups almond flour
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
4-6 tbsp maple syrup (raw honey works too)
1 1/2 tbsp non-dairy milk
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
1 tsp vanilla extract
What you need for Chia Jam
1 cup berries (fresh or frozen)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp maple syrup (raw honey works too)
Steps to make cookies
Pre-heat oven to 350
Mix all wet ingredients together in one bowl. Mix the dry in another bowl. Then mix all ingredients together.
Chill dough for at least 10 minutes. While dough is chilling, make the jam filling by heating all ingredients in a pan or microwave. Stir occasionally until ready to place in cookies.
Roll cookie dough into 10-12 balls and place on a baking sheet, gently press thumb in middle and bake for 10-12 minutes (until just golden brown).
Let cookies cool and then top with the chia jam.
