Ingredients
- 1 cup Pecan halves
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup white or whole-grain spelt flour
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup barley malt syrup
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spread the pecans on a cookie sheet or baking pan, and toast for 5 minutes. Set the nuts aside to cool, and increase the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Coat a 16x14-inch cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place the pecans in a blender or food processor, and process on "grind" for about 1 minute, or until coarsely chopped. Set aside.
- Place the oats in a blender or food processor, and process on "grind" for about 30 seconds, or until coarsely chopped. Set aside.
- Combine the nuts, oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a 3-quart bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the oil, barley malt syrup, and maple syrup in a 1-quart bowl. Add the oil mixture to the flour mixture, and blend until a moist, but not sticky, dough is formed. If necessary, add additional flour while blending.
- Using wet hands, form the dough into 1-1/2-to-2-inch balls, and place them on the prepared sheet, spacing the cookies about 1-1/2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie with the palm of your hand, and using a finger, make an indentation in the center of each one. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam in each indentation.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 15 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a rack, and cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
