Prep Time: 15 minutes | Start to Finish: 30 minutes | Serves: 12 (2-piece servings)

Details:

The not-too-sweet, deep nutty flavor — topped with a touch of fruit — is perfect for kids young and old. In fact, these cookies are so good that you'll need to remind yourself that one serving's the limit. (Phase 2)

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup granular sugar substitute
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup creamy trans-fat-free peanut butter

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla with an electric mixer set on low for 3 minutes. Add peanut butter and baking soda. Mix on medium until dough comes together, about 30 seconds.
  3. Form dough into 24 (2-teaspoon) balls and place on baking sheet 1 inch apart. Gently press your thumb into the center of each to make an indentation. Fill each indentation with 1/2 teaspoon jam.
  4. Bake until lightly browned on the bottom, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
