Keto Christmas Thumbprint Cookies
These lovely Christmas thumbprint cookies are a fantastic addition to your holiday desserts. They are super easy to prepare and make a wonderful treat you can serve as a dessert or a quick snack during the holiday season. We used Keto raspberry jam for this recipe, but feel free to substitute it for your favorite low-carb jam (any type of Keto-friendly berry jam will work). The recipe yields 20 cookies, but you can double the ingredients to prepare more. These cookies pair perfectly with a cup of your favorite holiday tea. Enjoy!
How to Make It
Step 1
Allow the butter and cream cheese to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before use. Add the softened butter, cream cheese, sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract to a bowl. Beat until fully incorporated.
Step 2
Add the almond flour and sea salt to a bowl. Continue to beat for about a minute or until the mixture is completely smooth. Wrap the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the fridge. Using a tablespoon, form cookie dough balls.
Step 4
Place each ball onto the prepared cookie sheet. Place your thumb in the center of each ball and gently press to form a thumbprint. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of the Keto jam to fill about ¾ of the thumbprint.
Step 5
Bake for 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and firm. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 6
Serve the cookies immediately or store them for later. Optionally, dust with some powdered sweetener of choice. Enjoy!
