Almond Flour Thumbprint Cookies

Almond Flour Thumbprint Cookies combine almond flour, ghee, and maple syrup to create a tender, slightly nutty cookie with a sweet jam center. These cookies have a soft, crumbly texture and a delicate balance between the richness of the almond flour and the fruity brightness of the jam. Their small size and single thumbprint of jam make them easy to portion and serve as a light sweet treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour packed, finely ground
  • 3 Tablespoons ghee softened butter or vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
  • 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 Tablespoons jam homemade or store-bought

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use an un-greased baking stone.
  3. Mix dough: Mix almond flour, softened butter, maple syrup, vanilla and salt in a small bowl until a cohesive dough forms. It will seem a little dry at first, but just keep mixing.
  4. Scoop and roll dough: Use a tablespoon to measure out dough and roll each into a ball. Place the ball of dough on your prepared baking sheet and use your thumb or finger to create a thumbprint in the middle of each cookie. Add 1/2-1 teaspoon of jam to the indentation.
  5. Bake cookies: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes minutes, until they start to turn golden brown on the bottom.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a rack to cool completely before serving.
  7. To store: Store cookies in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 1 week or in an airtight container in the freezer (layered with parchment paper) for up to 3 months.
