Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine all ingredients in a medium-size mixing bowl. Mix to form a stiff but creamy batter. Add a couple tablespoons of water, as needed.
  • Make small balls from the batter about the size of a walnut. Place these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Using your finger, make a small indentation or well in the center of each cookie. Fill this well with a bit of jelly or jam.
  • Bake for approximately 12 minutes in a pre-heated 350 degree oven. The cookies should turn a slight brown.
  • Remove from oven cool slightly. Enjoy!
