Ingredient list
For the Dough
2 cups almond flour
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4-6 tablespoon raw honey (you can also use maple syrup for vegan!)
1.5 tablespoon unsweetened non-dairy milk (use code MADD.HEALTHY if you want to use my fave Nutpods brand!)
1/4 cup olive oil (works the best), or avocado oil/coconut oil works too!
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: a pinch of 100% pure monk-fruit! (I add this so I can use less sugar overall, but you can do up to 6 tbsp honey/maple syrup and leave this out if you don’t have it)
For the JAM
1 cup berries (any kind, I used frozen blueberries for mine!)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon raw honey (or maple syrup!)

Steps
Step 1
Mix wet ingredients together and dry ingredients together separately, and then combine and mix until well incorporated! Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the dough is chilling, it’s the perfect time to make the jam! Heat and mix all the ingredients in a pan on low/medium heat. Let the heated and well-mixed berries/honey/chia seed combo sit to become gel-like while you bake the cookies. Mix it occasionally while the cookies are baking — it should become a thick/jam/gel like texture as the chia seeds soak in!
Step 3
After the dough has set in the fridge, roll it into 10-12 balls. Gently press thumb in the middle and bake them at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden on the bottom.
Step 4
Let the cookies cool and then add the chia jam. ENJOY! :)
