Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy or chunky)
- 0.5 cup Granular sugar substitute (like Stevia or erythritol)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Sugar-free jelly or jam of your choice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granular sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated and a dough forms.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out dough and roll into 12 evenly-sized balls.
Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Using the back of a spoon or your thumb, gently press into the center of each cookie to make a small well.
Fill each well with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of sugar-free jelly or jam.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The cookies may appear soft but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
