Serves: Makes 9 cookies

Ingredients:

For the cookies: –

2 Eggs
100ml Melted coconut oil or rapeseed oil
⅓ cup Stevia
1 tsp Almond extract
1 cup Gluten-free flour
½ cup Almond flour or ground almonds
1 tsp Baking powder
For the topping –

3 tbsp CherryActive® Dried Cherries
1 tbsp CherryActive® Cherry Concentrate
2 tbsp Black Cherry Jam (reduced/no added sugar)
Flaked almonds to decorate 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C and grease and line a large baking tray.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, oil, stevia and almond extract until frothy and combined.
  3. Mix together the flour, almonds and baking powder in a bowl.
  4. Pour in the wet ingredients and mix to combine and form a dough.
  5. Divide into about 9 balls and place each onto the baking tray, pushing down to form cookie shapes and leaving space between them to spread.
  6. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until golden and risen slightly. Leave to cool.
  7. Meanwhile place the dried cherries, cherry concentrate and jam in a small pan with 2 tablespoons of water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes, set aside to cool.
  8. Once the cookies have cooled down, spread a little of the cherry sauce over each, sprinkle with almonds – now enjoy!

Keep leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days and only spread the cherry sauce over when you’re just about to eat them so they don’t go soggy!
