For the Raspberry Chia Jam
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Make the Raspberry Chia Jam
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook raspberries for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to break down.
  2. Mash raspberries with a fork, then stir in chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool; jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
Prepare the Cookie Dough
  1. In a large bowl, beat together softened butter and powdered sugar until creamy.
  2. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. Stir in almond flour, all-purpose flour, and salt until dough forms.
  4. Flatten dough into a disc, wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Bake the Cookies
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  3. Cut out heart shapes using a cookie cutter. Cut small heart shapes out of half of the cookies for the tops.
  4. Arrange cookies on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are light golden. Cool completely.
Assemble the Cookies
  1. Spread a little raspberry chia jam onto the base cookies. Gently place the cutout cookies on top to create sandwiches.
  2. Dust finished cookies with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

These cookies can last about a week in the fridge. For longer storage, freeze them layered between parchment paper in an airtight container.
