Servings: 12 cookies

Course: cookie, Dessert

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

  

For the cookies:

• 3 cup almond flour
• 6 tablespoon coconut oil melted; can sub melted ghee
• 6 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract

For the filling:

• ½ cup raspberry jam homemade or storebought

Equipment

• small Christmas-shaped cookie cutters

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine all of the cookie ingredients until you have a cookie dough.
2. Begin rolling the dough into balls about 1 ½ tablespoon in size. Flatten these onto the prepared baking sheets until they are as thin as you'd like these cookies.
3. For only half of the cookies, use your small cookie cutters to cut out the center shapes. Bake for about 8-9 minutes and let the cookies cool.
4. This step is optional (skip if strictly paleo!), sprinkle powdered sugar over the cookies that have the shapes cut out of them.
5. Begin spreading the jam onto the cookies without the shapes and then place one of the shaped cookies on top of the ones with jam so that the jam is peaking through the center cut out. Gently sandwich the cookies together. Repeat with all of the cookies! Enjoy!
