Servings: 22 cookies
Calories: 115kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 5 Tbsp coconut oil melted and cooled
- 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- Homemade Cranberry Sauce* or jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Add the dry ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the remaining (wet) ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir vigorously until well-combined and a dough forms. If the dough seems too crumbly, add another tablespoon of coconut oil or pure maple syrup. The dough should resemble the consistency of regular cookie dough - neither too wet nor too dry, and it should press together easily.
- Roll a small ball of cookie dough in your palms, and gently press the center with your thumb. Place on a cookie sheet. Repeat for remaining cookie dough.
- Fill the cookies with cranberry sauce (or preserves of choice) by measuring ½ teaspoon of sauce/preserves/jam per cookie, and placing in the center well of the cookie.
- Bake in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden-brown around the edges.
Notes
*You can also use any type of store-bought or homemade jam. Fig preserves are amazing here!
