The mother-daughter team behind the recipe development site Crowded Kitchen cooks up plant-based dishes starring ingredients from local makers. Add these fruity, chewy, decadent cookies — which are made with Slow Jams Strawberry Balsamic jam ($24 for three jars, smallbatchdetroit.com) — to any holiday party dessert lineup. No one will ever even realize they’re vegan.
Ingredients:
¾ cup coconut oil, softened at room temperature
½ cup cane sugar
¼ cup maple syrup
1 Tbsp. almond milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. kosher salt
1/3 cup pecans,
coarsely ground
1 jar Slow Jams Strawberry Balsamic jam
Directions for Jam Thumbprint Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grind or finely chop pecans and set aside in a small bowl. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the coconut oil, sugar, and maple syrup. Add almond milk and vanilla, and mix until incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat until dough starts to come together.
Using a standard cookie scoop, roll dough into small, evenly sized balls, then roll in ground pecans. Gently press your thumb into the center of each cookie, forming a deep indentation. Use a spoon to fill with jam and transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 16-18 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool.
