Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Maple syrup
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp Fine sea salt
• 1/2 cup Healthy Crunch Chia Jam (we used Strawberry and Raspberry!)
• Powdered sugar, sifted (optional) 

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, add the gluten-free flour, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix until dough starts to form. Knead dough with your hands and form into a large ball.
2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and freeze for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 250F.
4. Remove dough from fridge and roll into 1/4” thickness in between two large pieces of parchment paper.
5. Use cookie cutters & cut into equal outer rounds & inner shapes - re-rolling scraps as needed. Use both hands to lift the edges of the parchment paper with the cut-out cookies and transfer onto the baking sheet.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, rotating halfway through, until cookies are just slightly golden on bottom. Allow to cool for 15 minutes then lift the parchment paper to transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Fill cookies with Healthy Crunch Chia Jam and enjoy! Happy Crunching!
