Note: you can make these either savory (cheddar thumbprint cookies with strawberry chili jam) or sweet (thumbprint cookies with strawberry jam). Ingredients are listed below for both options.
Course Appetizers, Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons softened coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese optional only use if you’re making savory cookies; omit if making sweet cookies
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup almond flour I use Bob's Red Mill brand
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

Instructions
 

  • Make the Strawberry [Chili] Jam ahead of time. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  • Combine the coconut oil and the egg until fully mixed.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt to make your dry flour mixture.
  • Add this dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir together until combined.
  • Mix in shredded cheddar cheese until mixed into dough completely (only do this if making savory cookies. Omit if making sweet cookies).
  • Take out half a tablespoon at a time of the batter and roll into a ball. Use your thumb to press into the middle and make a dent (about 1/2 inch deep).
  • Place 1/2-1 tsp or so of jam in the dent of each cookie.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Serve and enjoy!
