Ingredients
- 2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup your choice of jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, add the almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
- Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until well combined and until dough forms.
- Scoop about 1.5 Tbsp of dough and roll into a ball and place on the cookie sheet. You will get about 12 balls. Then use your thumb or back of a teaspoon and gently press down in the center of each ball. Scoop about 1/2-1 tsp of jam into each center of the cookies. Fill almost to the top.
- Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden. Remove and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Add more jam to the centers if needed. Enjoy!
