These tempting chocolate cookies are filled with my Truly Sugar-free Strawberry Jam. The cookies themselves are very delicious. They are made very thin so that they have a crunchy and light consistency, almost like a wafer cookie. We all can agree that chocolate and strawberries together is an irresistible combination, so here is another great way to enjoy this amazing blend!

Recipe Notes
*Not all almond flours/meal are the same. You need to use an almond flour that is blanched (skin removed) and ground very fine. Even some almond flours that appear to be ground fine may still have small chunks of almonds that will result in a crumbly or dense cookie. The best almond flour brand I have found is by Honeyville. I am not affiliated with them and I have tested other brands and their flour seems to work the best for baking. Look below for a link to their product.
