PB & J Cookies --- and Question (CLs!!)

I found this recipe on the official SB Web site (I was just looking at the sample recipes). But how does this fit in to your menu? It said it was P2 & P3. It has no flour, so I am assuming it doesn't count toward your grain intake --- so is it a sweet treat? But 1 serving is over 100 calories?
Please advise... because I am wondering if it's even worth trying. Thanks!
Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 14 minutes
12 Servings
Ingredients
3/4 cup granular sugar substitute
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup creamy trans-fat-free peanut butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄4 cup sugar-free jam, any flavor
Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla together with an electric mixer on low for 3 minutes. Add peanut butter and baking soda. Mix on medium until dough comes together, about 30 seconds.
Form dough into 24 (2-teaspoon) balls and place on baking sheet 1 inch apart. Gently press your thumb into the center of each to make an indentation. Fill each indentation with 1¼2 teaspoon jam.
Bake until lightly browned on the bottom, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I would do the math to determine how many TBS of peanut butter are in each cookie. That would count toward your nuts for the day. Then determine how many calories of SF jam/cookie (based on the jar and amount you used). That would count toward sweet treats.
Good luck,
Lisa.
If it helps any...
there are 16 tablespoons in a cup.
That does help... thanks!
Like I said, it's not something I'd have a lot, but if it's just a matter of SF jam and measuring nuts, it might be worth a try.
