The Easiest (& Tastiest) Vegan Cookies!

Thumbprints

1 cup raw almonds
1 cup rolled oats
1 1/4 cups oat flour (I did not have and used bread flour instead. worked fine!)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup maple syrup or brown rice syrup
1/2 cup sunflower oil
1/2 cup fruit preserves (I have used strawberry and apricot)

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Place almonds in a food processor and grind to a meal. Place oats in food processor and grind to a meal. Add flour, cinnamon, syrup, and oil. Pulse to combine.

2. Wet hands and form dough into walnut-size balls. Place on an oiled cookie sheet. Press an indentation in center of each with your thumb. Fill with jam. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden.
