RECIPE -

Marmalade Cookies (GF) (EF)

Gorgeous Amida gifted me some of hers and Toby's marmalade. Now, I’m not usually much of a marmalade gal—shock and horror!

But I am definitely an Amida marmalade fan.

So, I was whipping up some cookies, and now I’m going to be one of those annoying people who shares a recipe that is very vague. But it is almost foolproof, I promise. I have had requests, so here it is:

 

Marmalade Cookies

First, you will need to look at, by eye, the total amount dry ingredients in your bowl. Then estimate how much of the wet ingredients you will need to form a dough. Once combined, should your mixture be too wet or dry, have a taste add more dry or wet ingredients until you get a dough to form cookies

Wet Mixture:

  • Butter (or oil of your choice)
  • Tahini
  • Maple Syrup
  • Marmalade (jam of choice)

Melt these ingredients in a saucepan. Taste the mixture until you achieve the flavor that makes you swoon.

Make enough of this wet mixture to create a firm dough with the following dry mixture.

Dry Mixture:

  • Almond meal
  • A little arrowroot or flour (or any starch or flour will combine well)
  • A little psyllium husk, and or flaxseed meal
  • A pinch of spices you love, cinnamon, ginger, mixed spice, vanilla, YUM

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Then add:

  • Dark chocolate chips
  • Ginger carob buds

I added the carob and chocolate to the dry ingredients at the beginning, and when I mixed in the wet ingredients, they melted a bit. This was delicious, but if you prefer chunks, add the buds after the cookie dough has been formed and cooled a little.

1 tablespoon size cookie should cook nicely in an oven heated to 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes
 

I'm going to try adding strawberry and apricot jams, you might want to swirl them into the dough for a marbled effect, or gently fold them in for a burst of flavor. If you prefer chunks of jam, add them after forming the cookie dough.

Enjoy experimenting with these new flavors!
