Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 quarter cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup paleo fruit preserves or jam
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and sea salt, whisking well to remove any lumps.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Step 5
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll into balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Using your thumb (or the back of a small spoon), gently press down in the center of each ball to create a well for the jam. Be careful to not press too hard to prevent the cookie from cracking apart.
Step 7
Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of your choice of paleo fruit preserves or jam.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are just slightly golden.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy the cookies once they are cool and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
