Valentine’s Day is coming! The holiday of love, hearts, and
chocolate. Did I mention chocolate? This obviously makes it the best holiday
ever! Ever.
I mean- what says, “I love you” more than a basket of
freshly baked paleo Raspberry-Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies? Basically nothing.
Which is why you need to make these cookies ASAP. They are paleo and also just happen to be vegan
as well!
They are rich, crisp, and chocolate-y, filled with a tart/sweet
raspberry jam, and topped with delicious dark chocolate. They are ah-mazing.
And suuuuuper addictive, so be careful!
Makes 18 cookies.
Ingredients:
2 cups almond flour
½ cup arrowroot flour
¼ cup cacao powder
scant ¼ tsp sea salt
3 Tbs pure maple syrup
¼ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled to room temp
Fruit-sweetened raspberry jam (I used the Trader Joes’
organic kind)
Directions:
1.
In a food processor, pulse together the dry
ingredients just until combined.
2.
Pulse in the wet until a smooth dough ball
forms.
3.
Scoop round tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto
a parchment-lined baking sheet. Space the balls about 1 ½ inches apart. Press
your thumbprint gently into the center of the balls.
4.
Scoop ½ a teaspoon of jam into the center well
of each cookie.
5.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes. Transfer
cookies to a cooling rack.
6.
Now, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler
over high heat, until smooth and melted. Let cool.
7.
Once both the cookies and the chocolate are
cool, drizzle the chocolate over the cookies. (I did this using a ziplock
baggie filled with the chocolate. Then I cut off a tiny piece of baggie from
the corner, and used it as a piping bag for pretty chocolate design.)
8.
Let the chocolate set, then serve the cookies!
