Description
These gluten-free thumbprint cookies are the perfect cookie to make and share for the holidays! They’re vegan, paleo & AIP-friendly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup arrowroot starch
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, softened
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 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.
