raspberry thumprint cookies!




i love love love thumbprint cookies! and these are extra awesome because not only are they gluten free and vegan(depending on your standards, they do have honey), but they are also free of refined sugar!
i know you must now be asking, "amy, how can i, too, make these morsels of goodness and delight?" so here is the recipe


2/3 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cup flour(i used king athur's gluten free all purpose baking mix)
a itty bitty pinch of baking soda

blend all your dry ingredients together...you may use a bit more or less flour depending on if you are using wheat flour or gf flour, i imagine. basically you just want it to feel like typical shortbread dough. roll tsp sized dollops of dough into little balls and create little dips with your thumb or finger. FILL WITH DELICIOUS JELLY! I used a great jelly from a brand called Crofters, it's free of gelatin and free of refined sugar, and truly just made of fruit, it's called "Just Fruit Organic Spread" in Raspberry, obviously.
Bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. don't over bake, they'd definitely dry out.
let cool and enjoy!
