These gluten-free thumbprint cookies are delicious, very moist, and with a perfect texture.
They´re made with almond flour and filled with raspberry jam. I used raspberry jam because it was the one I had on hand, but you can also use peach, plum, strawberry…
You can bake a batch or two because they freeze very well! Serve along with a coffee for a perfect afternoon tea.
Ingredients
- Butter: unsalted butter softened to room temperature.
- Almond Flour: I use store-bought almond flour, but you can make your own almond flour.
- Buckwheat flour: it gives texture to the cookie.
- Starches: I used corn and tapioca starch.
- Vanilla extract: add flavor
- Jam: I used raspberry jam but you can use the jam you have on hand.
- Salt: enhance flavors.
How to make thumbprint cookies
In a large bowl mix butter and sugar until creamy, you can use an electric mixer or a hand whisk.
Add egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat well. Add the flours and mix until combined.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press down the cookies and use your thumb to make an indentation in the middle of the cookies.
Let cookies chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lightly grease or line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Set aside.
Spoon jam into each cookie, I used raspberry jam, but you can use the flavor you like most.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned. Remember that all ovens are different.
Let the cookies cool before removing them.
Variations
I used raspberry jam because it was the one I had on hand, but you can also use strawberry, plum, peach… or any you prefer. You can make half one flavor and half another.
Sometimes I make these cookies with a homemade strawberry ginger jam https://almondyes.com/strawberry-ginger-jam/ and they are delicious.
Storing
The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for 5 days. You can also freeze the cookies once they have cooled completely, in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
