Making the Keto Peanut Butter 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 30 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 in the center of the dough.
- Fill each indentation with about 1 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. You can transfer them to a cooling rack, if you like.Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
- 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.
Notes
About 4.5 grams of carbs per cookie are coming from the allulose (deductible). Add that to the 1 grams of fiber, and you're left with about 2.5 net grams of carbs per cookie
