Ingredients
  

For the pastry dough:
  • ¾ cup +1 ½ tablespoon softened coconut oil
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar can sub a powdered sugar substitute!
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cup gluten-free flour I used King Arthur gluten-free flour
  • 5-12 teaspoon water this will greatly depend on the gluten-free flour you use! Some require much more water than others.
For the filling:
  • ¾ cup blueberry jam can use homemade or storebought!
For the icing:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon blueberry jam
  • water to thin

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325℉ and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, cream together the coconut oil and sugars until creamy. Add in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Mix in the flour. Add in your water 1 teaspoon at a time until you have a shortbread dough that sticks together and can be pressed into the pan. The amount of water will vary depending on which gluten-free flour you use. Every gluten-free flour seems to need a slightly different amount of water!
  4. Press half of the dough into the prepared pan.
  5. Spread your blueberry jam evenly over top of the dough.
  6. On a piece of parchment paper, press the remaining ½ of the dough into a flat square the same size as your pan. Flip this large piece of dough over top of the jam and peel away the parchment paper. It's okay if it breaks a bit, just use your fingers to mend the dough together so that it completely covers the jam filling.
  7. Bake for about 34-37 minutes, or until golden brown. Time may vary depending on your oven. Let cool completely.
  8. In a separate bowl, mix together the icing ingredients, adding water 1 teaspoon at a time until you have a consistency you like. Spread the icing over the cooled squares and allow to harden before slicing and enjoying!
