Step 3. Start making cookies—line the baking pan with parchment paper. Use a cookie dough scoop or large tablespoon to scoop 20 evenly shaped balls. Roll in the palm of your hands, lay on the baking pan, and press with your thumb to make a “nest” shape.

Recipe Tips

  • Use the “thick” jam variety, not the runny kind.
  • Use a cookie scoop to help with the shape of the cookies, and keep them all the same size.
  • Bake till slightly golden.
  • Cookies will still be soft; let it cool before eating so cookies can harden and hold their shape.
  • Use parchment paper for easier clean-up.
  • Store in an air-tight container.
  • To make these cookies completely refined-sugar-free, use jam sweetened with fruit juice.
  • Cookies variations: try making them with different jam varieties, and add some hemp hearts or chia seeds in a jam for a nutty texture. Add some spices to the cookie dough: cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, and cacao powder for a chocolate flavor.
