'Tis the season for baking cookies. So I feel no guilt at all tempting you with my latest gluten-free baking success. What kind of gluten-free goddess would I be if I didn't keep conjuring up cookie recipes? I ask you. Not a goddess worth her salt- er- sugar. So I am not going to apologize for the calories, or the fat or the organic golden brown sugar in this recipe. Goddesses do not apologize for their cookies. Not during cookie season, anyway. And besides, Sweetcakes, a treat should be a treat. Life is short. Daylight is dwindling.
Live a little.
But if your sweet tooth has a hankering, or if you're gazing out the window watching snowflakes sift from the sky wondering what to bake this week for your gluten-free darling or your GFCF angel, try these old fashioned homestyle cookies.
I predict sweet things- and smiles- will ensue.
Fill these brown sugar thumbprint cookies with fig, apricot or raspberry jam. |
Gluten-Free Thumbprint Cookies Recipe with Fig and Apricot Jam
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients:
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
Beat in:
1 1/2 cups organic light brown sugar, packed
*If you prefer using eggs, use 2 free-range organic eggs, beaten
Add in:
Cover and chill the dough for an hour.
You'll need:
Fruit jam to fill the thumbprints.
I used fig jam and apricot fruit spread. Raspberry jam would also be delicious.
Roll the chilled dough into balls and place on the parchment lined baking sheet. Gently press down on the ball of dough to slightly flatten- not too much! Note* Some readers report the cookies flatten too much, so don't press down hard, it may make the cookies spread too thin.
Gently press your thumb on the center of the dough to form an indent.
Fill each thumbprint with jam.
Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 to 23 minutes, until the cookies are golden and firm. Cool the cookies on a wire rack.
As with most gluten-free dessert treats, these cookies are best eaten the day of baking. Freeze extra cookies by wrapping individually in foil and bagging. Thaw before enjoying.
Makes roughly 24 cookies.
