Easy Thumbprint Jam Cookies

Thumbprint cookies are a holiday staple, but this version comes with no grains, no refined sugar, and no butter or eggs. Almond flour is packed with protein, along with vitamin E, manganese and magnesium.

It’s a lighter cookie that you can enjoy with tea, while you open presents or bring these cookies to a holiday party to enjoy with friends.
