Notes
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies for up to 3 months.
- Flour Substitution: If you’re not following a gluten-free diet, you can substitute the gluten-free flour with wheat or spelt flour.
- Coconut Oil Substitute: Unsalted butter or avocado oil can be used in place of coconut oil.
- Jam Options: Feel free to use any jam you like. Raspberry, apricot, and strawberry are popular choices, but you can experiment with different flavors or even use a chocolate spread.
- Avoid Cracks: To avoid cracks when making the thumbprint, try pressing gently and slightly rotating your thumb, or use the back of a rounded teaspoon.
