Description
This thumbprint cookie recipe uses nut or seed butter as a base instead of flour so the cookies are completely gluten-free. You can choose to use anything from almond butter to sunflower seed butter. The entire recipe only contains four ingredients: the nut or seed butter of your choice, egg, coconut sugar and a jam of your choice. They literally take only about five minutes to create and then you just pop them in the oven for a half hour.
