Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Start to Finish: 30 minutes | Serves: 12 (2-piece servings)
Details:
Who would believe you could get such a delectable cookie out of such a simple process and with so few ingredients? (That's right; there's no flour!) The not-too-sweet, deep nutty flavor — topped with a touch of fruit — is perfect for kids young and old. These cookies are so good that I need to remind you to limit yourself to one serving!
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

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla with an electric mixer set 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 1/2 teaspoon jam.
- Bake until lightly browned on the bottom, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
