If I had a dollar for every time I changed the idea for this cookie recipe, I'd have $3.<\/p>\n

What started out as Raw Blueberry Chia Jam Sandwich Cookies became Raw Blueberry Chia Jam Mini Pies became Raw Blueberry Chia Jam Thumbprint Cookies. Same flavors, same ingredients, different formats. Yes, I actually remade\u00a0these three times. A perfectionist? Me? Never. Okay, okay. Always. I'm working on it. Om.\u00a0\u03a9.<\/p>\n

Why the triple switch? Well, the sandwich cookie idea was a blueberry-chia-jam-oozing hot<\/del> raw mess, and the mini pies traversed into mini key lime pie<\/a> wannabe territory. However, the thumbprint cookies? They hit the recipe sweet spot... at least in my book.<\/p>\n

\"Raw<\/p>\n

I mean, check out that garnet-hued blueberry jam and caramel cookie base. I've got one word and it starts with YU and ends with MMM.<\/p>\n

To make these Raw Blueberry Chia Jam Thumbprint Cookies, you'll need just six ingredients.<\/p>\n

For the crust, you'll toss pecans, buckwheat groats, dates, and cinnamon into a food processor. Then, you'll divide the mixture, roll each piece into a ball, and press in the center to create a thumbprint. The jam is a simple, plant-based mixture of fresh blueberries, medjool dates, and chia seeds. The chia seeds thicken the blueberry-date mixture and allow it to become a jam without the need to add heat. Once your jam has set, you'll drop a dollop into each thumbprint cookie, and that's it. The rest is delicious history that is likely to repeat itself... cookie by cookie.<\/p>\n
