Makes about 30 cookies

Fill these oat and nut cookies with your favorite fruit juice sweetened jam. We think strawberry, raspberry and apricot jams are particularly good.


  * 1 cup almonds or pecans
  * 1 cup rolled oats
  * 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  * 1/2 cup safflower or canola oil
  * 1/2 cup maple syrup or rice syrup
  * 1/4 teaspoon salt
  * Fruit juice sweetened jam

  - Preheat oven to 350°F. 
  - Put almonds and oats into a food processor and pulse until coarsley ground. Transfer to a large bowl and add flour, oil, syrup and salt. Stir to combine well. Roll walnut-sized balls of the dough in the palm of your hand to form each cookie, then arrange on 2 large baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Press your thumb gently down into the center of each cookie to make an indentation. Spoon a scant teaspoon of jam into each indentation.
  - Bake cookies until golden brown and just firm around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to let cool completely, then serve immediately or store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container.
