Time 1h45m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups blanched almond flour
2/3 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup honey, such as thyme or clover
2 tablespoons limoncello or freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg, at room temperature
3 tablespoons cherry jam

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread the almond flour on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Immediately add it to a medium bowl to cool for 5 minutes. Line the baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add the coconut sugar, honey, limoncello, lemon zest, salt and egg to the toasted flour. Using a rubber spatula, stir until well combined and evenly moistened. Scoop heaping 1-tablespoon scoops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 inch between each. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand, then make a small indent in the center of each cookie using your thumb. Fill each indent with 1/2 teaspoon cherry jam. Bake until golden brown and just set, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

I'm going to try making these cookies with different types of nuts and dried fruits. I think they would be delicious with walnuts and raisins.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbaked them.

I didn't have any cherries on hand, so I used dried cranberries instead. They worked just as well.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of sugar by half.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted walnuts in this recipe. They turned out just as delicious.
