Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 20
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Swedish, Vegan

Ingredients
  

  • 160 g almond flour 400 ml
  • 18 g coconut flour 50 ml
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 130 g softened vegan butter or regular. I used lightly salted
  • 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 100 g coconut sugar or white granulated sugar if you want a whiter cookie
  • Homemade raspberry chia jam* or store bought

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  2. Mix flours and baking powder together in a bowl, and set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugar in another bowl. Mix in vanilla. Once well combined add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix gently until combined.
  4. Prepare two baking sheets. Roll the dough into about 20 balls and place on the baking sheets. Slightly flatten the cookies and make a heart shaped indent in each cookie (or a circular dent if you are short on time or energy!). Fill with jam.
  5. Bake the cookies in the oven about 10 minutes until they are golden and slightly crispy on the outside (but soft on the inside!). Let cool. Enjoy!

Notes

*You can use either homemade or store bought raspberry jam. I like to make my own jam with chia seeds so I can control the sugar content and avoid yucky preservatives. To make jam I simply heat about two cups frozen raspberries on the stove and mash them once they're warm and soft. Then I mix in a few tablespoons chia seeds, and you can add a bit of sweetener too if desired. Store in a sealed jar in the fridge for about 1 week.
