Thumbprint Cookies

Monday, February 18, 2013


These are cookies would be a nice afternoon snack.

They aren't too sweet but seem hardy, like something you'd eat to get you through that two o'clock sleepy time. Not that I know anything about that... ;)




Have some jam on hand so you can always add a little extra.






Peanut Butter Thumbprint Cookies


Ingredients
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp Maple Syrup
½ cup non dairy milk (I used almond milk)
2 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut (I omitted this)
1.5 tbsp of your favourite vegan Jam (I used raspberry)

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celcius/ 392 degrees fahrenheit
2. Mix the peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla together to form a smooth paste
3. Add the flour, baking soda, sesame seeds and stir together
4. The dough will be really stiff, so add a little of the milk until it comes together into a pliable dough
5. In a baking tray lines with baking parchment, form the dough into 8 balls and press down in the centre with your thumb to make an indentation
6. Bake in the oven for between 7 and 12 minutes (keep checking, the cookies should be lovely and golden
7. Remove from the oven and let cool
8. Using a teaspoon pop a little blob of jam in the indentations to fill them
Enjoy!

  2. Peanut butter is nice with many things isn't it? :)

    These cookies aren't too sweet though. You could always add some more maple syrup if you wanted.
