These vegan thumbprint cookies are the perfect treats to bake on a weekday when you’re craving for something sweet and simple.

Thumbprint cookies (or “raspberry caves” as we call them in Sweden) are tratidional Swedish cookies that are loved by almost everyone. I was always absolutely certain they were “invented” in Sweden, but there is some dispute on whether their origins are from Sweden, Poland or the Jewish people of Eastern Europe. What they do seem to know is that ther were invented some time during the 19th century. Regardless of where they’re from, they’re absolutely delicious and actually super easy to make!

I decided to make a twist on these vegan thumbprint cookies and make my own chia jam filling which turned out amazing and something I will be making again as a spread or filling for other cookies and cakes for sure!
