Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Fruit preserves or jam (no sugar added)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, salt, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, gently press down in the center of each dough ball to create an indentation. Be careful not to press all the way through.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite fruit preserves or jam.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
