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!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Gluten-Free Flour you can also substitute whole wheat flour, if you prefer
- 1 Cup Sliced Almonds
- 1 Cup Oats ground
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ Cup Grape Seed or Avocado Oil
- ½ Cup Maple Syrup
- ½ Cup Fresh Orange Juice
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 10 Ounce Jar Fruit Jam or Spread
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 F.
- Next, add your flour to a large bowl and prepare your almonds. Use your hands to crush the slivered almonds and add them to the bowl. This makes sure that the almonds still maintain some texture!
- Then, add the oats and cinnamon to the bowl.
- Mix your dry ingredients together, then add in all of your wet ingredients and stir until a batter forms.
- Next, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper use a cookie scoop to form 12 large cookies, or 24 small cookies.
- Use your thumbs or a small spoon to make a small dent inside each of the cookies, then place a small drop of jam into each of the dents.
- Bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once they're done, let them cool, then serve and enjoy!
