Strawberry - Kiwi Fingerprint Cookies

Wondering what to do with that Vegan Strawberry Curd (Slightly Soused!) you made? I whipped up simple thumbprint cookies with home-dried kiwi slices in the dough for a unique twist on the classic.

• Ready In: 48 mins
• Serves: 14
• Yields: 14 cookies

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  non-hydrogenated shortening
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 7 (1 g) packets  almond flavoured stevia
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 3  tablespoons  unsweetened  almond milk
• 1 1⁄4 cups  triticale flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1  cup  dried kiwi, slices diced
• 1⁄2 cup  strawberry jam (like Vegan Strawberry Curd (Slightly Soused!))

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F Line a baking sheet with parchment or silicone.
2. Cream together shortening, sugar, stevia, salt, vanilla and almond milk until well combined.
3. Add the flour and baking powder and mix until a stiff dough is almost formed, then add the kiwi and mix inches.
4. Form balls of the dough and place on the sheets (they don't spread that much) and press your finger into the centres to make indents.
5. Fill with the curd or jam.
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Cool completely on the sheets.
