Ingredients
Filling:
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- ¼ cup Water
- ¼ cup Lemon Juice
- ½ tsp Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1-2 Tbsp Arrowroot Powder
Cookie:
- 2 cup Blanched Almond Flour
- 1 cup Arrowroot Powder plus ½ cup for dusting
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- ⅓ cup Maple Syrup
Instructions
- In a medium sized sauce pan, add the blueberries, syrup, water, lemon juice, nutmeg and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat.
- Bring filling to a boil, while stirring. Continue to stir frequently, while “mashing” the filling with a wooded spoon.
- Once the liquid has reduced, turn heat down and add arrowroot powder. Stir continuously until thickned. Remove from heat and set aside for filling the cookies. Can add additional ½ cup blueberries if desired.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, arrowroot, and salt.
- Add in the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Stir until all ingredients are combined and you have a ball of cookie dough. **You can use your hands for this as well.
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Take a small ball of dough and roll until about the size of a ping-pong ball. Use extra arrow root powder when working with the dough if necessary.
- Place on cookie sheet and press thumb into center making a well.
- Add about a teaspoon (give or take) of filling to the center of the cookies.
- Repeat until all dough has been used.
- Place in the oven and bake cookies for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
Notes
**Any remaining filling can be refrigerated or frozen and saved for future use.
