With jewel-jam centers and a tender almond flour shortbread cookie, these bright thumbprint cookies are sure to be a hit. The jam can be made with any berry, but we like raspberry for its bright red color and sweet flavor. You can whip up a batch of raw honey-sweetened raspberry chia jam in just 5 minutes with this recipe here.
The almond flour based shortbread cookies are fast to make, with just a few simple ingredients that are available in most health food stores. They’re sure to disappear in a flash, but if you happen to have leftovers, keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Sorry I know this is a dumb question but…do I scoop out 7 tablespoons of solid coconut oil & heat up & use all of that …or am I using 7 tablespoons of liquid already melted coconut oil?
It should be the same either way :)
Have you attempted these with a flax egg?
