Ingredients
For dough
- 6 Tablespoons Butter softened
- 1/2 cup powdered Erythritol
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups Blanched almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan gum
For filling
- 2-3 Tbsp keto jam
Instructions
- Mix Almond flour and Xanthan gum and set aside
- With a hand mixer or food processor mix butter and sweetener till light and fluffy
- Mix in eggs and vanilla extract till combined
- Add the almond flour / Xanthan gum mix into the wet ingredients and mix to combine
- The dough would be crumbly don't worry about.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon mat
- Scoop out dough by Tablespoonfuls onto your baking sheet till dough is out
- Roll each dough between you palms to make a smooth ball
- Make an indentation with your thumb then fill with jam
- Pop cookie dough into the refrigerator for 30 mins (optional but recommended step)
- About 5 mins before getting the dough out of the refrigerator, preheat oven to 350*F
- Bake Cookies for 20 mins turn off oven and let cookies sit on cookie sheet for about 8 mins then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you are in a pinch you can bake the cookies immediately without refrigerating the dough I just like refrigerating because it gives time for the flavors to blend in.
- If you are not refrigerating the dough preheat oven while moulding the dough
- When the cookies gets out of the oven, they will still be soft don't worry they harden as they cool.
- Store bought Jam gives a more glossy finish than homemade jam.
- I highly recommend erythritol based sweeteners for making cookies. Xylitol tends to keep cookies softer.
