Jam
- ¼ cup fresh or frozen strawberries

- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Cookies
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. In a small bowl combine melted coconut oil and honey or maple syrup.
Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. The mixture will be crumbly but will come together as you continue mixing.
Use an ice cream or cookie scoop to measure out about one tablespoon of the dough. Roll into a ball, place on the baking sheet and using your thumb, press an indentation into the center of the dough. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Spoon ½ teaspoon of the jam into the center of each cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the bottom of the cookies are slightly browned. Remove from the oven, cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely. Enjoy!
- Use room-temperature maple syrup. If your maple syrup was stored in the refrigerator, allow it to come to room temperature for about 1 hour. If the maple syrup is too cold, the melted coconut oil will immediately harden when added to the bowl and make your strawberry jam cookies oily.
- Avoid over-baking. Strawberry jam cookies are meant to be soft. When they are lightly golden on the edges, remove them from the oven. If you bake them for too long, they will become hard and crumbly.
