Thumbprint Cookies

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

adapted from This Is My Inspiration

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!
