Raw pastry cookies filled with a dollop of freshly made strawberry jam! This recipe couldn’t get much cuter and inviting if it tried. Completely free of gluten and processed flours, instead the pastry is made from cashew nuts, almond and coconut flours and is sweetened with pure maple syrup. The jam is both sweet and ever-so-slightly tart with a zesty touch of lemon and hint of vanilla. Delicious!!!
