Gluten Free Blackberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies
… you HAVE to give them a try. If you need a little bit more convincing,
- just look how tiny and adorable they are
- they are super soft and chewy
- they’re gluten free, vegan, && Paleo
- blackberry chia jam – yes please!
- ummm drippy almond butter!!
- have I mentioned that they’re soo cute?
I had lots of left over blackberries from these Blackberry Margaritas, so I decided to take a break from tequila and made a super healthy and easy blackberry chia jam instead.
You guys, this stuff is addicting! I literally put it on everything – toast, pancakes, waffles, muffins, yogurt, oatmeal, almond butter & blackberry chia sandwiches (or any type of nut butter!), and of course cookies!
The cookie dough is very simple and straightforward. All you need is 1 mixing bowl and five ingredients. Everything gets mixed in at once, then you roll the dough into balls and use your thumb (or back of a wooden spoon) to form a well for the jam. Next, you fill each center with some jam and bake! Yup, it’s that simple!!
Once the cookies are out of the oven, you can drizzle them with some almond butter for a special touch. You can even go traditional with peanut butter too, but almond butter is my thing right now.
