Thumbprint Raspberry Jam Cookies




I made these cookies from The Kind Diet, and they turned out really well. Here's the recipe...

Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats (I used 1/2 - 3/4 cup oat flour)
1 cup almonds (I used 1/2- 3/4 cup ground almonds)
1 cup spelt flour
1/2 cup corn or safflower oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup brown rice syrup
1 cup jam, of your choice

Directions
1. Combine the rolled oats and almonds in a blender or food processor and process until this is the consistency of flour. (I made it easier on myself and used oat flour and ground almonds)
2. Pour into a large bowl and add the spelt flour.
3. Combine the oil with the maple syrup and brown rice syrup. Mix well.
4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix well.
5. Make 1-inch sized balls with your hands [you can use some oil on your palms, if needed] and press flat onto a lightly oiled cookie sheet. Add a little more oat flour if the dough seems too wet.
6. Make an indentation with your thumb into the center of each cookie.
7. Fill each cookie with a teaspoonful of jam.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Besides having no animal protein, they also have NO WHITE SUGAR. The maple syrup and brown rice syrup do a wonderful job sweetening these cookies up.
Final note: PERFECT with a cup of tea ;)
