Servings: 18 cookies
Calories: 127kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter , smooth
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup coconut flour *
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 5-6 Tbsp. strawberry jam
Strawberry Jam
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients. Add the peanut butter, coconut flour, and maple syrup to a medium bowl and mix to combine. The mixture should be moist and tender, so the thumbprint cookies don't crack when you make the indentation. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon or so of coconut oil to help bind everything together.
- Shape the mixture. Using a 1 ½-Tbsp./22.5-ml cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the ball onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used up. Then, use your thumb to make an indentation in the middle of each cookie. The best way to prevent the thumbprint cookies from cracking when making the indentations is to cup them in your palm, keeping the dough as compact as possible, and not to press too forcefully. If the dough cracks, smooth the cracks over before chilling.
- Chill. Transfer thumbprint cookies to the refrigerator to firm up, for about 20 minutes.
- Fill. Once chilled, spoon a little jam - about ½-tsp. - into each indentation. Repeat until all cookies are filled.
- Store. Leftover thumbprint cookies keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. For longer-term storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Notes
*Every coconut flour absorbs liquids a little bit differently. Start with the lower amount and add more as needed.
