Peanut butter cookies… thumbprint cookies with jam centers… peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Hmm. What if we combined each of these great things into an amazing peanut butter & jelly thumbprint cookie? (This is how I come up with recipe ideas…)<\/p>\n

My favorite thing about these cookies is that they’re made with a full half cup of flaxseed, which is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. With their omega-3’s, lignans, antioxidants, and fiber, it’s no wonder that Dr. Greger recommends eating flax every day in his great new book, How Not to Die<\/a>. The thing is, most recipes that call for flax use a frustratingly small amount (like a tablespoon across a dozen servings). But flax doesn’t have to be just a “seasoning” in your recipes; with a little maple syrup and some flour, it actually has a great flavor & texture in desserts like these cookies. <\/p>\n

But don’t let all the nutrients and fiber and whole wheat and lack of refined sugar or oil scare you away – these cookies have an amazing soft texture with a mildly-sweet peanut butter flavor that works perfectly with the sweet jam centers. <\/p>\n

You can use your favorite jam here (I used raspberry) or you can always make some of my homemade chia seed jam recipe<\/a> for an even healthier option.<\/p>\n
