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
  • 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.
