- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon guar gum or arrowroot powder
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons honey or 1½ tablespoons agave

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a food processor combine almond flour, salt, baking soda, and guar gum or arrowroot powder.
Pulse in egg, coconut oil, and honey or agave until a dough forms. The dough will be thick and should stick together well.
Scoop batter one tablespoon at a time and roll into balls. Place on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Use ½ teaspoon measuring spoon or your thumb to create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Place ½ teaspoon of jam as filling in the center of each cookie.
Place in oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Do not over bake as the cookies burn easily. Remove cookies from cookie sheet and place on a cooling rack.
