Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
In a separate large bowl, mix melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and the egg until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until you form a dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
Meanwhile, prepare the jam by placing strawberries in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until they begin to break down, about 5 minutes.
Mash strawberries with a fork or potato masher, then stir in chia seeds, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thick.
Use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies and a smaller cutter to cut out centers from half of those cookies to create the tops.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack completely.
Once cool, spread a teaspoon of the homemade strawberry chia jam on the bottom half of each complete cookie. Top with the cut-out cookies to form sandwiches.
Serve your paleo Jammy Dodger cookies immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
