Hi everyone,

I am really loving our Friday recipes and I LOVE hearing from all of you about what you like to cook for your own kids. Today, I’ve decided to feature a cookie recipe from one of our readers, Jackie Ourman of CAFE (Celiac and Allergy Friendly Epicurean).  Jackie has three kids with Celiac disease and multiple food allergies, but she’s also a big time foodie. Tough right? Well, instead of just cutting out ingredients, she did the research and started a this gorgeous site with tons of Celiac and allergy friendly recipes. Believe me, even people without allergies will enjoy her healthy and simple recipes.

Here are her five-ingredient almond butter thumbprint cookies! These are peanut and gluten-free but you won’t miss a thing.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup crunchy almond butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Kisses

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a hand or stand mixer, mix the almond butter, sugar, egg and vanilla on low speed until well combined.
• Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and place 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheet.
• Press your thumb in the middle of each cookie and smooth the edges if they break apart.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until the sides start to get a golden color.
• Remove from oven. Unwrap and place one Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie and allow to melt.
• Remove to cooling rack and allow to cool (if you can wait!) then enjoy!
