Ingredients

For the Cookies

6 tablespoons butter, softened

1 egg

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups almond flour

1/2 cup oat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup raspberry jam

For the Icing

3 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons almond milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven:
Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Mix the wet ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix with a whisk or electric mixer until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients:
Stir in the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms.

Chill the dough:
Place the dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Shape the cookies:
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking tray.

Create the thumbprints:
Flatten each cookie slightly and press a small indentation in the center using your thumb or finger.

First bake:
Bake the cookies for 5 minutes.

Add the jam:
Remove the tray from the oven and fill each cookie with 1–2 teaspoons raspberry jam.

Finish baking:
Return the cookies to the oven and bake for an additional 8 minutes.

Cool the cookies:
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.

Prepare the icing:
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and almond milk until smooth.

Decorate:
Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies and let it set before serving.

Notes

Chill the dough to prevent cookies from spreading too much while baking.

You can substitute strawberry, apricot, or blueberry jam if desired.

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Use certified gluten-free oat flour if needed for strict gluten-free diets.
