Ingredients

6 tablespoons SunButter No Sugar Added or use Organic SunButter + 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup pastured butter softened, salted
1 1/2 cups oats whole rolled
1 1/2 cups oats blended into oat flour
1/2 cup raspberry jam *I used homemade chia jam

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, add SunButter, honey, and softened butter, and mix together until creamy and smooth.
Add salt if using Organic SunButter or unsalted butter. Also add in oats, and oat flour (whole oats blended into a flour). Stir in to combine.
Scoop cookie dough into 1 tablespoon mounds. If you chill the batter, you can roll it into balls but I don't take the time to do that!
Use thumb or a rounded teaspoon to press an indent into the center of each cookie.
Fill each thumbprint with about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned.
Allow cookies to cool and firm up before removing them from the baking pan.
Store leftover cookies at room temperature for 2 days, or in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freeze cookies for up to 3 months and allow to thaw at room temperature to serve.

Notes

Is other fruit in season? Use whatever jam you have, or make jam out of whatever fruit is available at your local farmer's market. I make chia jam with peaches, strawberries, and blueberries also! I've even made Pumpkin Butter Thumbprints in the past.

Make these Vegan Thumbprints: This recipe is easily vegan by using coconut oil in place of the butter, and maple syrup in place of the honey. Use what fits your needs!

Chocolate Raspberry Thumbprints: LOVE CHOCOLATE? So do I. And I adore Chocolate SunButter. I took this recipe, and filled the thumbprint with 1/2 teaspoon of Chocolate SunButter and 1/2 a teaspoon of raspberry jam -- to create a surprise filling! Check out Instagram for a video of the results!
