Blueberry Cobbler Cookies
Servings 12 cookies
Ingredients
**Cookies:**
- – 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- – 1 tsp vanilla extract
- – 1/3 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
- – 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
- – 2 cups almond flour
- – 1/4 tsp salt
**Blueberry Chia Jam:**
- – 2 cups frozen blueberries
- – 2 tbsp maple syrup
- – 1 tbsp chia seeds
**Streusel Topping:**
- – 1/4 cup 1:1 gluten-free flour blend like King Arthur’s
- – 1/4 cup coconut sugar can substitute regular or brown sugar
- – 3 tbsp melted dairy-free butter can substitute regular butter
- – 1/4 tsp salt
**Icing:**
- – 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- – 1-2 tsp dairy-free milk
Instructions
- **Make the Blueberry Chia Jam:** Add frozen blueberries to a saucepan and heat over medium to low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mash until smooth, then remove from heat. Stir in chia seeds and maple syrup, then set aside to cool.
- **Preheat Oven:** Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- **Mix Wet Ingredients:** In a bowl, combine almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well mixed.
- **Add Dry Ingredients:** Add almond flour, salt, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Use a spatula to mix until fully combined.
- **Form Cookies:** Use a cookie scoop to roll dough into balls and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each ball with the palm of your hand, then create an indent in the center with the back of a spoon.
- **Make the Streusel Topping:** In a small bowl, mix all streusel ingredients until combined.
- **Assemble Cookies:** Fill each cookie indent with 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of blueberry chia jam and top with streusel.
- **Bake:** Bake for 20-23 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow cookies to cool for 15-20 minutes.
- **Drizzle with Icing:** Mix powdered sugar and dairy-free milk to make the icing. Drizzle over the cooled cookies and enjoy!
Notes
