Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup butter softened, can use dairy-free butter too
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 teaspoon jam strawberry or raspberry

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix all the ingredients except the jam in a bowl until a dough forms.
  • Scoop 1-inch balls of dough and roll them into a ball with your hands. Place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Use your thumb or index finger to create a well or thumbprint in the middle of each cookie. Add ½ teaspoon of jam to the well.
  • Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes. They will still be soft to the touch and will continue cooking on the baking sheet as they cool.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a rack to cool completely before serving.
