INGREDIENTS

For The Berries

• 1 cup blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries (or a combo)
• 1 tablespoon real maple syrup

For The Cookies

• 1 cup brown rice flour
• 1/2 cup almond meal
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup applesauce
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.  Prepare the fruit topping by combining maple syrup and berries in a small bowl. Set aside.
3.  For cookies, mix together the brown rice flour, almond meal, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, mix together maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla. Pour your wet ingredients into your flour mixture and fold everything together. The batter should be very doughy.
4.  Roll dough into small balls (a little smaller than a golf ball) and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Take your thumb or a back of spoon and press down to make a little well for your fruit filling. Top with your filling.
5.  Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly brown on the bottom. 

Let cool. Eat them up!
