Who doesn't love a peanut butter and jelly combination!? It's definitely one of my favorites. Run to your kitchen to make these cookies if you adore pb&j too!

Something that sets this thumbprint cookie recipe apart from a more traditional recipe is that these are made with almond flour and rolled oats. The mix of the two creates the perfect chewy texture.

All and all, this is basically a peanut butter cookie with some oats that is filled with jam. The only question is... what flavor of jam will you be using?

No, stick with almond flour for best results.

      If you use natural peanut butter, it should be runny. Something like Skippy or Jiff is not recommend for this recipe.

      Hello,
      I just found your site and everything looks great! Question - If I want to reduce the sugar content, can I use a different sweetener or does the maple syrup leep everything together because it’s sticky?
      Any thoughts or suggestions? PS - I do want to keep the jam which of course is already sweet.

        Hi! Thank you! I have only made the recipe as written. I personally love pure maple syrup because it's an unrefined sweetener. I'm not sure what you would like to use instead, but you can try to substitute another liquid sweetener of choice. I just wouldn't used a granulated sweetener for texture purposes!

    Hello!

    To make this recipe lower in fat, could the almond flour be substituted for an oat or other GF flour option??

    Excited to try as these look amazing!

      Hi! I haven't tried making this recipe with a different flour. Almond flour typically does not sub one for one with any other flour. You might have to play around with the ratios a bit.
