SunButter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies made with Organic SunButter and your favorite no-sugar-added jam. The perfect holiday cookie!

I’m just going to come out and say it: the end of this year has felt like a slog for me.

Anyone else?

I’m tired, I’m cranky, and I feel like the only thing that sounds interesting to me at the moment is a one-way ticket to the Bahamas.

Maybe it’s the shorter daylight, maybe it’s surviving the most wonderful time of the year as a new dog mom, or maybe it’s the extreme cold we’ve had this December.

Whatever *it* is that has me staring at blank pages with blinking cursors and cursing the creative slump I’ve fallen into, needs to go.

Regardless of the cause, I’m actively trying to take it easy on myself.

Because baby it’s freakin’ cold outside, because it’s the holidays, because I’m moving into 2025 without those nuisance negative beliefs.

That being said, whether you’re crushing the last few weeks of 2024 or cruising like I am, I think we all deserve a cookie.

These SunButter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies are made with Organic SunButter and your favorite no-sugar-added jam.

They’re the epitome of the perfect holiday cookie made with lots of SunButter, jam, and love.

How to Make SunButter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies

These SunButter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies are very easy to mix up and bake.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Add the maple syrup, SunButter, and almond flour to a bowl and mix everything until it’s well incorporated and sticky.

Cover the mixing bowl and transfer the dough to the refrigerator for ~30 mins to harden.

If you’re short on time, you can skip this step, but I find it helps the consistency.

Add Your Thumbprint

Once the dough has firmed up (you can test with a fork or spoon), use a cookie scoop to scoop ~1 1/2 Tablespoon balls of dough.

Roll the dough into balls with your hands and place them 2″ apart on a cookie sheet.

Press your thumb into the center of the dough to form a thumbprint.

If your thumbs sticks to the dough, try wetting it with a bit of filtered water first.

Add the Jam

Add a ½ teaspoon jam or jelly to the center of each cookie until all of the thumbprints are filled.

Bake the cookies for 16-17 minutes, then promptly remove them from the oven.

The cookies will appear underdone but will firm up after cooling.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week and freeze them for longterm storage.

Organic SunButter

I used Organic SunButter for this recipe to add creaminess and healthy fat to this recipe.

While you can technically use any nut or seed butter for this recipe, I’m partial to the neutral nutty flavor of SunButter.

Using SunButter also keeps this recipe peanut-free, making them a safer option for allergen-free cookie exchanges.

Also, the pairing of SunButter and jam is…iconic.

I can’t wait for you to try them!

How to Serve SunButter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies

Enjoy these SunButter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies whenever you’re craving a nutty jammy combo combined in cookie form.

These cookies are packed with plant-based protein and healthy fats so you should feel good about enjoying them anytime.

Try them for easy breakfasts, snacks, dessert, or even pre/post workout fuel.

You can mix up the flavor profiles by adding your favorite flavor of jam or jelly.

I personally love raspberry or strawberry jam, but blueberry or grape would pair nicely, too!

They’re classic and elegant without being complicated, which makes them ideal for gift-giving, holiday parties, Valentines Day, and everyday entertaining.

Let the thumb-printing begin, friends!

Enjoy!
