i kind of can’t believe it’s already thursday! the weeks are so long, yet they fly by 🤷🏼♀️ adulting is weird, am i right?? anyway, here’s a new cookie recipe to help kick off the weekend vibes ✨BLUEBERRY SHORTBREAD THUMB COOKIES✨these little cuties are hard to cut off after only eating one. i find myself going back into the kitchen to grab another one every time i think i’m only going to have one 😳 they’re the perfect mid-morning snack with a nice cup of coffee or tea! or even a perfect little afternoon snack when you’re feeling that slump come on and need a little burst of energy! 🎉
these cookie are gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, paleo, vegan, and are made from minimal ingredients👏🏻the base of this recipe comes from my no bake cake ball recipes, so be careful not to eat too much of the dough while you’re prepping the cookies! it’s easier said than done, believe me! 🥰
WHAT YOU NEED for COOKIE BASE:
(makes 10-11 cookies)
▫️1 cup almond flour
▫️1/4 cup coconut flour
▫️1 tsp vanilla
▫️3 tbsp coconut oil
▫️3 tbsp maple syrup
.
WHAT YOU NEED for BLUEBERRY JAM:
(makes about 1 cup - save remaining jam for toast, oatmeal, etc.)
▫️1 cup organic blueberries
▫️1/2 squeezed lemon
▫️1 tbsp maple syrup
▫️1 tbsp arrowroot powder + 1 tbsp water
HOW TO:
In a small saucepan, bring all the ingredients for the blueberry jam (minus the arrowroot powder + 1 tbsp. of water) to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the 1 tbsp. arrowroot powder + 1 tbsp. water. Mix well until a liquid forms. Add mixture to the saucepan and let simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. You will notice the sauce start to thicken – that’s good. Once thickened, set aside in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for cookie base. Using your hands. roll the dough into a tbsp sized balls. Use your thumb to make an indent in each cookie to make room for the jam. Use a spoon to fill each indent with your jam. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown on the edge of each cookie. ENJOY!
