Ingredients

Thumbprint Cookie Dough

Center Filling

  • 3 tablespoon sugar free jam or sugar free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Place your butter, sweetener, vanilla extract and egg in a stand mixer or large bowl and use an electric hand mixer to combine well.
  • In another bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together. Pour half of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and blend until combined. Add remaining dry to wet and combine.
  • Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Use a tablespoon or measure out 18 grams or .5 ounce of dough and roll into a ball. Place balls about 2 inches apart on sheet pan. Once all balls are made, use your thumb or a rounded ½ teaspoon and make an indent into the center of each cookie. Freeze for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove cookies form freezer and bake for 7-8 minutes. Remove from oven and indent the centers of the cookies again. Add ½ teaspoon of your filling of choice. Place bake into the oven for 1-2 minutes more. Remove from oven but do not touch until they are completely cool. Please note; if using sugar free chocolate chips, if they don't melt together enough, simply use a toothpick to swirl the chips together.

Storage

  • Once cooled, you can keep them on the counter for 2-3 days, but they will stay fresher and soft and moist, if you keep them stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. You can also freeze for up to a month.

Notes

The nutrition info above does not include any jam or chocolate in the center. Each thumbprint needs only ½ teaspoon of any filling of choice. You will need 3 tablespoons of any filling of choice to fill 18 thumbprint cookies.
