Ingredients
  

  • What You Will Need
  • 1 3/4 cup (440 g / 15.5 oz) sugar-free creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp (16 g / 0.56 oz) coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) baking powder
  • 1 1/3 cup (255 g / 9 oz) granulated Stevia or equivalent sweetener
  • 1/4 cup (80 g / 2.82 oz) sugar-free strawberry preserves
  • For the best texture, use a natural, creamy peanut butter where the only are peanuts and salt. This prevents the cookies from becoming too oily.
  • If your dough feels too sticky to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. This will make it much easier to handle.
  • Feel free to swap the strawberry preserves for any other sugar-free jam, like raspberry or apricot, to create different flavor combinations.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  3. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Stevia, coconut flour, and baking powder to combine.
  5. Add the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry .
  6. Using an electric mixer or a sturdy spatula, mix until a thick, uniform dough forms.
  7. Scoop and roll the dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon / 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz each) and place them on the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
  8. Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, gently press an indentation into the center of each cookie ball.
  9. Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) of the sugar-free strawberry preserves.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will still appear soft.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Do not overbake! The cookies will look slightly underdone when you pull them from the oven, but they will firm up perfectly as they cool.
