Are you guys ready for an absolutely AMAZING cookie recipe? I thought so! But let’s not tell anyone that these delicious little almond thumbprint cookies are made with healthy ingredients. It’ll be our secret. And it will be an easy secret to keep. When I passed one of these to my handsome man I didn’t mention that they were healthy cookies. If I had he would have decided before taking a bite that he wasn’t going to like them. Only after he raved about them and ate two more in a row did I let him in on the secret. (Obviously feeling a little smug while I did.)
What makes these almond thumbprint cookies the best
They are soft and buttery and reminiscent of shortbread.With only a teaspoon of coconut sugar per cookie, they still manage to be sweet enough to cure your sweet tooth and avoid being cloyingly sweet.Filled with softened dark chocolate that is absolutely dreamy.They are literally the easiest cookies to make ever. ← True claim.These little balls of cookie heaven can be dressed up for all the seasons. A few pink heart sprinkles for Valentine’s Day. Some red and green sprinkles for Christmas. Orange and black for Halloween or pastels for spring.They are grain-free, gluten-free cookies. Easily vegan (if you use vegan butter) and paleo, too.But the best part is that they are so deliciously addictive.
