Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam (sugar-free)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Melt the coconut oil and allow it to cool slightly. Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- Using clean hands, roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Gently press your thumb or the back of a small spoon into the center of each cookie ball, creating a small indentation for the raspberry jam.
- Carefully spoon the sugar-free raspberry jam into each thumbprint, filling the indentations without overflowing.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, the cookies will firm up. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: For the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure your almond flour and erythritol. This ensures consistency in texture and sweetness.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Allow your coconut oil to cool slightly after melting, and make sure your vanilla extract is at room temperature. This helps the dough come together smoothly.
- Chill the Dough: If the dough feels too sticky to handle, consider chilling it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This makes it easier to roll into balls.
- Use Sugar-Free Jam: Opt for a high-quality sugar-free raspberry jam to enhance the flavor without adding unnecessary carbs. You can even make your own if you're feeling adventurous!
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on your cookies as they bake. Ovens can vary, so check for that golden edge around the cookies to ensure they don’t overbake.
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer shelf life, refrigerate them, and simply let them come to room temperature before serving.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to switch up the jam flavor or add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a unique twist on this classic recipe.
