Easy Gluten Free Thumbprint Cookies


These easy gluten free thumbprint cookies are guilt free.




Sugar is T O X I C....and very addicting! ⁠ ⁠Store bought cookies (even healthy ones) are piled high with the added sugars under different names and you might them disguised on the ingredient list labeled as:⁠ ⁠




Sugar




, Dextrose, 




High Fructose Corn Syrup, 




Maltodextrin, 




Molasses, 




Corn Syrup





One of the worst types of sugar is high fructose corn syrup. Not only is it generally made from GMO corn, but it’s been shown to contribute to the development of diabetes. ⁠ ⁠




Many people have tried to simply stop eating sugar – and have failed. Um, me! That’s because the food industry wants to keep us hooked on their products so they add it to practically everything!





Then we find ourselves on a sugar roller-coaster where we want it even more and don’t know how to put the brakes on. ⁠ ⁠ 

But there IS a way to stop this binging cycle, and I will help you. Thankfully there are many alternatives that exist! ⁠

These Easy Gluten Free Sugar Cookies are guilt free are made with almond flour instead of white flour. Made with homemade berry chia jam instead of GMO sugar laden jelly and only FIVE other ingredients!





You can easily make your own Berry Chia Jam to which is so versatile. I made some a couple of weeks ago to have a healthier option for adding to toast for breakfast and putting over oatmeal. So I decided to make these cookies with it.




I'll show you how to whip up my Simple Berry Chia Jam recipe here, to make these cookies even more tasty.




Omit the berry jam and have yourself the most perfect sugar cookie!
