- Yields:
-
1 cookie
- Serves:
- 12-15
ingredients
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1⁄2 cup raw wheat germ or 1/2 cup additional almond meal
- 1 1⁄3 cups oatmeal (uncooked)
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2⁄3 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1⁄3 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup sugar-free strawberry jam or 1/4 cup sugar-free raspberry fruit spread
directions
- Prepare almond meal: using raw almonds, place in blender and pulse until flour consistency (use less than the desired amount- they explode) taking care not to overprocess into almond butter!
- Place all ingredients (except for jam) into a mixing bowl and blend until dough forms.
- Do not overprocess or the almond butter pops up again.
- If this happens, do not be alarmed-- just just a dinner knife to remove the mixture from the beaters!
- Roll dough into golf balls, place on parchment lined cookie sheet, flattening to about 3/4 inch thickness.
- They will not spread, so can be placed close together.
- Using a spoon, make a small indention in the center of each cookie and add a little jam!
- Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.
- Overcooking will result in a dry cookie!
- OH NO!
- Let cool for about 10-15 minutes.
- The jam centers may (or may not) dry during cooking.
- Store completely cooled cookies in a single layer in a large zip-lock plastic bag.

Kauaian cook lives on the Garden Island in Hawaii. Retired here in 1998, we enjoy all the fruits, vegetables, fish and other local grown & harvested island flavors. Great farmers markets - 6 days a week plus roadside honor stands for fruits, veggies and flowers! For "work" there is volunteering with the local historical society as well as with the Monk Seal Watch group (kauaimonkseal.com). Have a bad cookbook habit, so am hoping that Recipezaar with cure a little of that! Do play alot in the waters.
