Description:
These are gorgeous. I've just made them and the whole plate is gone by everyone here. I highly recommend. Yes there's sugar in the jam but no refined sugar in the base, which I love. And you and find a different substitute for jam if you wish. I love baking my own stuff , I hope you like these, let me know how you get on.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup finely ground almond flour
- 3 Tablespoons ghee, softened butter or vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 Tablespoons jam, homemade or store-bought
Method:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix almond flour, softened butter, maple syrup, vanilla and salt in a small bowl until a cohesive dough forms. It will seem a little dry at first, but just keep mixing.
Use a tablespoon to measure out dough and roll each into a ball. Place the ball of dough on your prepared baking sheet and use your thumb or finger to create a thumbprint in the middle of each cookie. Add 1/2-1 teaspoon of jam to the indentation.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes minutes, until they start to turn golden brown on the bottom.Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a rack to cool completely before serving.
