Scandinavian Thumbprint Cookies
gluten-free, egg-free

Add to bowl:
1/4 cup ghee or coconut oil, liquified
3 tbsp honey or agave
1/4 cup applesauce
1 tbsp Chia Seed meal (I grind my seeds in coffee grinder or Magic Bullet. 1 tbsp meal is equal to about 1/2 tbsp seeds) ( use twice as much flax seed meal as chia seed meal)
1/2 tsp vanilla

Beat with electric mixer.

Add:
1/3 cup tapioca flour
1/3 cup almond meal flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1/3 cup coconut flour, sifted
