Gluten-free thumbprint cookies. Sounds healthy, right? Well, sort of. Of course there are some good things in these cookies… like ground almonds, buckwheat flour, brown rice flour and good ole oats. Yay to that. But these are Christmas cookies after all, which means we are approaching the time of year when we grant ourselves permission to enjoy a few treats… here and there. So.. there is butter in these cookies and some sugar too — but not too much, as overly sweet isn’t my thing — just enough to make them a “cookie”. Otherwise, I this would have been nothing other than a recipe for Christmas crackers. Hmmm not a bad idea. Savory Christmas crackers. I could groove on that.

\nThese gluten-free thumbprint cookies are the first of what should be an annual tradition. Christmas cookie baking. I only managed to bake Christmas cookies once last year. But this year will be different. Why? Well, for once, I actually had a chance to reflect and think about what I actually want to bake. Okay, forced reflection time. I was hit with the most terrible cold infection… EVER! Which meant a week and a half flat out. Of course, I watched a couple of good series on Netflix…”Salt Fat Acid Heat” (based on her fantastic book<\/a>!) and the much promoted “The Bodyguard” (good but over-hyped), but how much TV can one take before it is completely boring? So I started thinking about Christmas and cookies and making christmas cookies with that Elle Republic twist. Not too sweet, some healthy elements and well, these are the first to make it through my “test kitchen”. Tried, tested and approved by my work colleagues and at home, kid-approved. Ka-ching!

\nAnd funny enough, through my “sample group” there’s one thing I noticed about thumbprint cookies. There are those who are pro-jam and against. So I think the best way to prepare a Christmas cookie recipe that will please everyone is to do a mix of both. Those with and those without jam. Which is perfectly easy to do with this recipe. <\/p>\n

I also learned that there are soooo many names for thumbprint cookies in German: Engelsaugen Kekse, Husarenkrapfen, Kulleraugen, or Vogelnest. The funniest being Kulleraugen which are those wobbly googly eyes<\/a> for craft projects. So these are my googly eye Christmas cookies. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
