Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except jam. Stir to combine.

Once a dough forms, use hands to roll dough into 12 equal sized balls. Balls of dough will be about 1 inch in diameter.

Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to lightly press down in the middle of each ball of dough.

Next, scoop a small amount (about a teaspoon) of jam into the center of each cookie. Fill almost to the top.

Bake for 13 to 14 minutes or until cookies have turned slightly godlen.

Then, remove from oven and cool on baking sheet. After 3 minutes, remove cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Once cooled, feel free to add more jam into the center of each cookie as desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Dough for Perfect Texture 🧊
Refrigerate the dough for at least 15 minutes before shaping to prevent spreading and achieve a tender, crumbly shortbread texture that holds its thumbprint indentation beautifully.
Toast Almond Flour First 🥜
Lightly toast your almond flour in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing to deepen its nutty flavor and remove excess moisture, resulting in crispier cookies with better structure.
Use Room Temperature Coconut Oil 🥥
Ensure coconut oil is softened but not melted when creaming with maple syrup—this creates proper air incorporation for a lighter, more tender cookie rather than a dense, oily texture.
Strategic Jam Placement Technique 🫙
Add jam after baking for 8-10 minutes when cookies are set but still warm, then return to oven for final 2-3 minutes—this prevents jam from sinking to the bottom and ensures it stays on top.
Dual Extract Balance 🌸
Use equal parts vanilla and almond extract (don't skip either!) as they work synergistically—almond extract provides depth while vanilla rounds out the flavor and prevents the cookies from tasting one-dimensional.
