Believe it or not, they are super easy to make and only have 4 main ingredients! These almond thumbprint cookies are perfect to make for your holiday cookie party because they take hardly any time to make, they are delicious, and they are something a little bit out of the box. I have a feeling you’ve had thumbprint cookies before, but I bet they weren’t made with almond flour.
The almond thumbprint cookies turned out really well. They are light and buttery. I made them pretty small, so it was pretty easy to eat several cookies in one sitting. You might want to double the recipe! You can also use any time of preserves or jam you want. I chose to use three different flavors so that I’d have different colored cookies.
Gluten Free Almond Thumbprint Cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups almond flour
6 tablespoons softened butter
6 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until a dough forms.
Scoop 1″ balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the balls of dough about 1 ½ inches apart. Use your thumb to create a thumbprint in the middle of each cookie. Add 1 teaspoon of jam to the indentation.
Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, until they start to turn light golden brown on top.
Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a rack to cool completely before serving.
