Flourless Peanut Butter And Jam Thumbprint Cookies
Bring back your childhood with these soft peanut butter and jam thumbprints! With only 5 ingredients these peanut butter cookies are flourless, gluten-free, and healthy. They take the iconic sandwich and make it into something new.
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, syrup, egg, baking powder, jam and cacao if using. Mix until no clumps remain.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Portion the cookies into seven using an ice cream scoop then lightly press down with a fork (they do not expand too much).
Use your thumb or a ½ teaspoon to press a small dent into the center of the cookie.
Bake for 3 minutes, rotate the pan and bake for another six.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet.
When cooled, divide out the peanut butter topping into the cookies. Then divide the jam and lightly swirl.

Notes
The cookies won’t seem done when they come out of the oven, this is normal! Let them sit to finish cooking on the baking pan and then transfer them to a cooling rack. Be gentle.
Store the flourless peanut butter cookies in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Know that they will firm up a bit on storing.
Any jam or jelly will work for the gluten-free cookies.
