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

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 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.
3. 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.
