The original idea for these cookies came from Lucy over at Attic24, but I altered them a wee bit using my thumb and some JAM. Yeah!
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup agave
1 tablespoon honey
Combine all ingredients and melt in the microwave or in pot on the stove on low heat and set aside. I use a double boiler for this, as not to burn the butter, agave, honey mixture.
In another bowl combine and mix the following:
1 cup rice flour
1 cup oats
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
Now combine the melted butter/agave/honey mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix well. The mixture will be quite wet and sticky. I grab a bit of cookie dough with my hands and form it into a ball and then place it on a nonstick cookie sheet. Then I insert my thumb into the center making an indentation. This is where I spoon in the raspberry jam. You can use any flavor jam you like. I made my own raspberry jam for this recipe, but that has to be made in advance, so any store bought brand would be fine. It’s up to you. Use what you love!
Then I bake the cookies in a 350 degree (preheated) oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Mine were ready after 12 minutes. They were slightly brown around the edges. Remove from oven and after a minute or so move them to a rack for cooling.
These cookies are hearty, not too sweet, and go brilliantly with a delicious cup of tea or coffee. They are gobbled up so fast in my house that I always make two batches at a time.
Enjoy!
