Instructions
Make the Keto Cookie Dough
- In stand mixer - or in a large bowl with an electric mixer - cream butter and sugar substitutes until fluffy.
- Add eggs, milk, and vanilla, beat until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix together remaining ingredients.
- Slowly add this dry mix to the mixer bowl, and carefully mix until well incorporated and smooth.
- Wrap cookie dough in plastic wrap, chill for 1 hour.
Making the Keto Thumbprint Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350 F, line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll 1" balls of cookie dough, or use an ice cream scoop. You want to get about 20 cookies from the batch.
- Arrange dough balls on a cookie sheet, leaving at least 2" between cookies - they flatten out a fair amount.
- Gently press the tops of each slightly - flatten JUST enough to prevent the dough from rolling.
- Use your thumb to form a round, shallow indentation on top of each cookie. Alternately, use the tip of your pinkie finger to form a heart shaped, shallow indentation in the top of each cookie.
- Fill each indentation with about ½ teaspoon of sugar free raspberry jam.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes. Cookies will look puffy, but flatten out as they cool. Do not over bake!
- Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from baking sheets. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
About 8.5 grams of carbs per cookie are coming from sugar alcohols. Add that to the 2 grams of fiber, and you're left with about 2.5 net grams of carbs per cookie
Once cooled to room temperature, cookies can be stored in an airtight container for a few days on the counter, longer if in the fridge.
