I\u2019m not sure why, but Valentine\u2019s Day always makes me crave dulce de leche, caramel\u2019s gooey latin cousin. \u00a0Paired with guava, dulce de leche is beyond amazing. \u00a0It\u2019s kind of like a tropical version of peanut butter and jelly! \u00a0Sweet caramel and tart guava, oh yum. \u00a0I\u2019ve made cookies filled with guava<\/a> before, but I haven\u2019t paired dulce de leche with guava in a cookie\u2026until now.<\/p>\n

You can find dulce de leche and guava jam in the latin section of most food shops these days, but if you have a little time and a can of sweetened condensed milk, it\u2019s so much fun to make dulce de leche yourself! \u00a0Here\u2019s what I usually do to make my own.<\/a><\/p>\n

With just five ingredients, you\u2019ve got yourself a soft, moist caramel cookie topped with guava jam and toasted coconut.<\/p>\n

Happy Valentine\u2019s Day\u2026<\/p>\n

Dulce de Leche & Guava Jam Thumbprint Cookies {grain free}<\/h3>\n

Makes 1 dozen<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 cup dulce de leche<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup coconut flour<\/li>\n
  • 1 egg<\/li>\n
  • 3-4 tablespoons guava jam (or paste)<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup shredded coconut<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

    In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat together the dulce de leche, coconut flour and egg until combined. \u00a0Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

    Use a small kitchen scoop to measure out the cookie dough and roll them into balls. \u00a0Place each cookie dough ball on the lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart from each other.<\/p>\n

    Make a small indentation in each cookie with your thumb or the back of a spoon, and fill the hole with 1\/2 teaspoon of the guava jam (or paste, if using). \u00a0Top each cookie with shredded coconut, and bake at 375\u00b0 until the cookies are set and golden, about 10-12 minutes.<\/p>\n

    Remove the cookies from the oven, and let cool completely before enjoying!<\/p>\n
