Every year we experiment and create a new healthy cookie recipe for the holidays. I gave these out after a yoga class this morning and was actually told by several people that it may be one of the best cookie they've ever eaten! And it's so simple - very few ingredients, easy to make, and appropriate for most special dietary restrictions. Hope you enjoy it!

Almond Coconut Thumbprints

2 1/2 c. almond flour

3/4 c. coconut flour

1 T. baking powder

1/2 t. sea salt

3/4 c. coconut oil

1/2 c. agave nectar

1 t. vanilla

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix liquid ingredients in a small bowl and then add to flour mixture. Roll into 1 inch balls, place on cookie sheet and create a depression using your thumb (or I found my small pestle to work perfectly for this). Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. After baking, you may need to press thumbprint again before filling. Add approximately 1 tsp of filling to the thumbprint. We used a chocolate hazelnut filling (similar to Nutella) and then sprinkled sea salt on top. You could also use a fruit jam of your choice. I think we'll try raspberry next which would be perfect with the almond and coconut flavors.
