In a large mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients except for the jam.
Shape the dough into a ball, cover the bowl, and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the baking sheet and roll them into balls. Using your thumb, make an imprint in the center of each ball.
Fill each imprint with a teaspoon of jam.
Bake for 11 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
Cool on the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack.

Ours are filled with raspberry jam but you can also use strawberry or apricot jam, chocolate, caramel, or even chopped nuts like pecans. If you want to get fancy, some recipes drizzle a glaze overtop.
Replace your parchment paper with silicone mats! I'm going to ask Santa for some this year.
Store in a covered container at room temperature on the counter or in the fridge.
Substitute a melted vegan butter for coconut oil for a more buttery flavor.
