Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup fruit jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and coconut sugar, whisking thoroughly to remove any lumps.
- Add the melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, portion the dough into 12 equal-sized balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press your thumb or the back of a small spoon into the center of each cookie dough ball, creating a small well for the jam.
- Carefully spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of fruit jam into the center indentation of each cookie.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, the cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth dough consistency and better mixing.
- Choose a high-quality fruit jam with natural ingredients for the best flavor.
- When creating the thumbprint, use the back of a small spoon for a more uniform well if you prefer precision.
- Don't overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender and light.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to let the jam set and develop a rich, concentrated flavor.
- Experiment with different jam flavors like strawberry, raspberry, or apricot for variety.
- For a protein boost, you can add a tablespoon of chia seeds or protein powder to the dough.
- Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
