Jam Cookies

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly oil a cookie sheet.
2. 2
   Chop almonds into coarse meal. This can be done with a knife (which takes a long time and is messy) or in a food processor (or a blender, but a food processor is ideal) by ?pulsing? a few times. For a chunkier cookie, grind the almonds only into small pieces.
3. 3
   Grind oats to flour in a small food processor, flour mill, or a blender. You can also use oat flour. For a chunkier cookie, don?t grind oats all the way.
4. 4
   Combine almonds, oats, flour, salt, and cinnamon.
5. 5
   In another bowl combine oil and maple syrup. Add to dry. Mix lightly.
6. 6
   Roll into walnut-sized balls. Place on an oiled cookie sheet. Press an indentation in the center with thumb.
7. 7
   Fill indentation with jam. Do not overfill.
8. 8
   Bake 15-20 minutes, or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool 10 minutes.
