Baking is about to go on the back burner for the next few months. It’ll be way too hot… so to enjoy the last few cooler days of summer, I made yummy, summery, grain free thumbprint cookies with strawberry jam!
So go ahead, crank up that oven before it gets too hot outside and enjoy these fun little treats.Baking is about to go on the back burner for the next few months.
These cuties are soft, moist, sweet and delicious. A tall glass of milk (or coconut milk) pairs with them perfectly.
