Ingredients

  • ¾ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup arrowroot starch
  • ½ cup coconut oil softened
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbsp jam of your choice use homemade or something sugar free
  • 2 tbsp coconut butter melted (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper lightly greased with oil.
  • Start with the crust by mixing together the two flours, and then stirring in the wet ingredients until well combined.
  • Using a tbsp sized scoop, scoop the dough into a tbsp and roll into a ball. Set the ball of dough onto the baking sheet and press your thumb it into the center to make a thumbprint indentation. Repeat for all of the dough.
  • Scoop about 1-2 tsp worth of jam into the thumbprint indentation of each cookie.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until firm and baked through. Shortbread dough can easily burn, so be sure to watch them carefully at the 10-minute mark! You'll know they're done once they're firm, the jam is set, and the bottoms are lightly browned.
  • Carefully transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool before drizzling with melted coconut butter if desired.
