Servings: 12 cookies
Calories: 142kcal
Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
For the jam:
- 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a standing mixer (or hand), blend the egg, vanilla, coconut sugar and maple syrup together until smooth.
- Add the almond butter, coconut flour and baking soda. Blend only until combined then remove and place in the refrigerator 15 minutes to chill.
- While the flour chills, prepare the jam by blending the raspberries, chia and maple syrup together in a blender. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender and blend several times in order to break everything down until it is smooth.
- Remove the flour from the refrigerator and using a small ice cream scoop, scoop the batter and roll into a ball. Having your hands wet will prevent the dough from sticking to you.
- Place the ball on the sheet pan then repeat for the remaining batter until you have 12 balls. Use a finger to gently press into the center of the balls to make a thumbprint.
- Bake at 350 F 8-10 minutes until browned. Removed from the oven and cool on the pan 2-3 minutes before gently transferring to a wire baking rack. Note if the center of the thumbprint rises slightly during baking, press your finger into it again while it's warm and it will quickly take shape.
- Using a spoon, add a spoonful of jam to the center of each cookie. Sprinkle with coconut flakes if desired then enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 10 days.
