Blackberry Jam thumbprint cookies

Health Highlights

Ingredients

3/4 cup	Shortening (palm, melt, nutiva - available on amazon.ca)
1/4 cup	Coconut sugar (+ 2 tbsp)
1 cup	Cassava flour
1/2 tsp	Baking soda
1/2 tsp	Vanilla extract, pure
1/2 cup	Water, filtered (cold)
1/4 cup	Blackberry jam

Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
Add palm shortening and sugar to a large mixing bowl, and use a hand mixer to whip them together.
Add flour, baking soda and mix with shortening and sugar
Then add vanilla, and water to mixing bowl and stir until fully combined into a sticky dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and rolling into a small ball. Place on baking sheet, and press down with palm to slightly flatten. You want it to be about half the size of the ball. Using your thumb, make a big thumbprint in the middle of the cookie.
Fill the thumbprint with about a ½ teaspoon of blackberry jam,
Repeat until dough is gone. This recipe makes about 18 cookies.
Bake in preheated oven for 13 minutes.
When done remove from oven and take parchment paper of pan and place on cooling rack.
Now, you must let them cool for at least 10 minutes, yes I know that is the hardest part. However, these must cool for them to set, otherwise they will fall apart if you eat them right of the pan.
Enjoy! They should last up to 5 days on the counter in a airtight container, if they make it that long.
