Ingredients
DRY INGREDIENTS
2 cups (192g) almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup (125 ml) jam
Any jam will do, but I recommend strawberry, raspberry, or apricot
Cooking spray - OR - parchment paper
WET INGREDIENTS
1/4 (55g) cup butter
*Vegan alternative 1: 1/4 (55g) cup vegan butter
*Vegan alternative 2: 1/4 (62.5ml) avocado oil
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp honey
*Vegan alternative: maple syrup
Instructions
In one bowl, add 2 tbsp brown sugar, *2 tbsp honey (vegan alternative: 2 tbsp maple syrup), 2 tbsp vanilla extract, and *1/4 cup (55g) butter (vegan alternative: 1/4 cup (55g) vegan butter - OR - 1/4 cup (62.5ml) avocado oil)
Mix all the ingredients together with a whisk/ handheld mixer
In a separate bowl, add 2 cups (192g) almond flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt
Mix all the ingredients together with a spatula
While stirring, gradually pour small sections of the almond flour mixture into the wet mixture until everything is well combined
Line a baking pan with either parchment paper - OR - cooking. spray
Place dollar-sized balls of dough on the pan
Press a teaspoon into the middle of the cookie and make an indent
Add a 1/2 tsp (or 1 tsp… I ain’t judging) into the indent
Bake the biscuits in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 12-15 minutes
They will be golden brown and flattened when finished
Allow the biscuits to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes
Enjoy!
Helpful Tips:
For step #8, do not make the indent too deep - your cookie naturally flattens when baking, so this could lead to spillage!
