    Thumbprint jam cookies

      These cute little thumbprint jam cookies are fun to make and gluten-free.  I’m not entirely sure why but for some reason it seems like gluten-free is taking over the world.  These cookies use almond flour instead of regular flour which is helpful to the recipe in several ways.  First of all, using almond flour…
