Famous Golden Door Jam Cookies

If tender, melt-in-your mouth cookies filled with a delightful fruit jam are what you're craving, then boy have I got your cravings covered! These Famous Golden Door Jam Cookies are a riff off of the popular cookies made by Golden Door, a wellness resort in Southern California. And let me tell you, these might be some of the best cookies that I've ever tasted. My version is gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and refined sugar-free, but don't let that stop you: these cookies are absolutely delicious!
