During summertime, sweet strawberry and tart rhubarb are a flavor dream team. But did you know: A slice of strawberry-rhubarb pie is packed with loads of added sugars, coming to roughly 350 calories<\/a>. But don’t blame us for ditching the fat-laden pastry crust. Instead, we dreamed up this gluten-free strawberry-rhubarb thumbprint cookie recipe. Both the cookie base and the filling are sweetened with maple syrup so there\u2019s no refined sugar<\/a>. A hint of lemon juice brightens the strawberries and rhubarb, which delivers several B-complex vitamins<\/a> and vitamin K, which promotes bone health. With a crispy cookie and gooey center, these treats are about to become your new favorite dessert.<\/p>\n

Strawberry Rhubarb Thumbprint Cookie Recipe<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Serves 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Prep Time: 20 minutes
\nCook Time: 20 minutes<\/p>\n

[skinnybox]<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the filling
\n<\/em>1 1\/2 cups rhubarb, diced
\n1 cup strawberries, diced
\n1 tablespoon maple syrup
\n1\/4 cup water
\n1\/4 cup lemon juice
\n1\/2 teaspoon nutmeg
\n1 teaspoon cinnamon
\n1 tablespoon arrowroot powder<\/p>\n

For the cookies
\n<\/em>2 cups blanched almond flour
\n1 cup arrowroot powder
\n1 teaspoon salt
\n1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
\n1\/3 cup maple syrup
\n1\/4 cup coconut oil, melted<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the rhubarb, strawberries, maple syrup, water, lemon juice, nutmeg and cinnamon.<\/li>\n
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil. Continue to stir frequently, while \u201cmashing\u201d the filling with a wooden spoon.<\/li>\n
  4. Once the liquid is reduced, turn the heat down and add arrowroot powder. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.<\/li>\n
  5. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, arrowroot powder and salt.<\/li>\n
  6. Add in the vanilla extract, maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Stir until all of the ingredients are combined and your mixture has a cookie dough consistency.<\/li>\n
  7. Take a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. (If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a bit of arrowroot powder on your hands for this step.) Place on a cookie sheet and press thumb into center, making a small well.<\/li>\n
  8. Once dough is used up, add about a teaspoon of filling to the center of the cookies.<\/li>\n
  9. Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Pro Tip<\/h3>\n

    Leftover filling can be refrigerated or frozen for future use.<\/p>\n
