- 1/3 cup of virgin coconut oil or butter
1/2 cup of honey
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 3/4 to 2 cups sprouted whole grain flour (read how I made mine in my post about sprouting grain), or white flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon of each, ground cardamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon
2 tablespoon of crushed blanched almonds (I got blanched slivered almonds and coarsely crushed them with my mortal and pestle).
1 tablespoon of orange zest
1 teaspoon of lemon zest about 1/2 cup of thick jam (I use fruit sweetened blackberry jam, delicious!)
1-In a small saucepan, melt the oil/butter and honey together, just until melted
2-In a medium size bowl add the rest of the ingredients, except the jam, and add the oil and honey mixture. Stir until well combined.
3-Take a small amount of the dough into your hands, and roll it into about 1/2 to 1/4 inch size ball. ( If this seems too difficult, place your dough into the freezer for about 20 minutes.). Place on a greased cookie sheet, and using your thumb make a small indent in the top of your ball. Using a small spoon, or teaspoon place a small amount of jam in the indent. Fill the cookie sheet in this manner, keeping the cookies a few inches apart.
4-Place in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, until the bottom and sides are just starting to brown. Cool on cooling sheets and enjoy.
