John Cage Cookies (photo via greg.org)

John Cage Cookies (courtesy of John King)

(Adapted, said Merce, by John Cage, from a macrobiotic cookbook, and graciously shared by Laura Kuhn, director and co-founder of the John Cage Trust, and loyal friend to Merce and John)

1 cup whole wheat flour (I use whole wheat pastry flour)
1 cup ground almonds
1 cup ground oats (I grind both the almonds and the oats in a food processor)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup almond oil
1 teaspoon vanilla (I use the seeds from the inside of one whole vanilla bean, instead)

1/2 cup pure fruit jam

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mix together the dry ingredients, then mix together the wet ingredients. Fold all together. Roll into small balls and place on a cookie sheet. Make a well in the center of each with your thumb, then add a small dollop of pure fruit jam. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown, turning the cookie sheet back to front halfway through to ensure even cooking.
