Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 0.5 cup jam or preserves (your choice of flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, gently press into the center of each cookie to create an indentation.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite jam or preserves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Vegan Classic Thumbprint Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
