Your Guide to Easy Healthy Nutty Thumbprint Cookies

Delicious vegan thumbprint cookies I stole from WholeFoods.
As always, I made my Japanese-y adjustments so you may find my recipe less sweet. But hey, you taste more of the natural ingredients - isn't that better?

I'm not vegan but these cookies are too cute and delicious looking not to try! 
It took me 5 minutes to make (excluding the oven time)....And the taste? 


Nutty, chewy, goodness. 


What you need (makes 15 cookies):

• 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup of pecans
• 1/2 cup of organic rolled oats
• 1/4 cup oil (I used organic coconut)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (I used a little less than this!)
• some salt
• some jam (I used organic raspberry)

Steps:

1. Put the pecans and oats in the blender/mixer until well ground. 
2. Put the oven to 350F.
3. Once complete, in a bowl, add the mix, flour and the rest of the ingredients (besides the jam).
4. Once mixed, get a tablespoon and start creating little balls with them. Lay them on an oven plate and create a little thumbprint in the middle. Place the jam in the little thumbprints and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes!
