Ingredients

  • pinch of fine sea salt
  • 100 g cashew butter

  • cardamom vanilla yellow plum jam see my recipe!**

Method
 

  1. Depending on how thick your cashew butter is, start with 0 tsp added water, but add water as needed to get the cashew butter to a softened butter texture.
  2. Cream the cashew butter and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Once the mixture is combined, add the rest of the wet ingredients.
  4. Add all of the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
  5. When the dry ingredients are combined, add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture. Do not overmix.
  6. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 165°C when the dough is almost done chilling.
  8. Remove the dough from the fridge and make approx 15 cookies on two baking sheets. Make the thumbprint indents using a half teaspoon measuring spoon. Add a little dollop jam.
  9. I baked the trays one at a time so they'd all bake evenly. Bake for approximately 10 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden brown. 
  10. Let the cookies cool and enjoy!

Notes

*You can use coconut sugar for these if you follow a refined sugar free diet, but the colour of the cookies will come out a bit darker and the flavour of the cookie will change a bit.
