1/2 cup whole almond, toasted
1 cup brown rice flour
2 tablespoons brown rice flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons honey

  • Roll Tablespoons of dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets. Press the tip of your finger into the center of each cookie to make an indentation. Bake the cookies until set and slightly golden on the bottom, 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

1/4 cup honey, such as thyme or clover
2 tablespoons limoncello or freshly squeezed lemon juice

3 tablespoons cherry jam

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
