Almond Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies

Ingredients

  • Raspberry Chia Jam:
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • honey or maple syrup, to sweeten if desired
  • 1-2 tablespoons filtered water, if needed

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
To make the chia jam, place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If you need more liquid for the ingredients to fully combine, add 1-2 tablespoons of water. Place in a glass jar in the refrigerator to allow the chia seeds to expand, at least 1 hour or overnight.
To make the cookies, in a bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Slowly pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well.
Scoop the cookie dough into 1 inch balls. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Press a thumbprint in the center of each ball roughly ½” thick. Fill the indent with 1 teaspoon of the chia jam.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned on the edges. Let cool. Enjoy!
