Ingredients
1 cup almonds or pecans
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup safflower or canola oil
1/2 cup maple syrup or rice syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
Fruit juice sweetened jam
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F. Process almonds and oats in a blender or food processor to a coarse grind. Transfer to a large bowl and add flour, oil, syrup and salt. Stir to combine well. Form walnut-sized balls and place on a baking sheet. Press your thumb gently in the center of each ball to make an indentation. Use a very small spoon to fill with jam.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool completely, then store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container.
