Description
Tender, buttery low-carb thumbprint cookies made with almond flour and filled with bright sugar-free raspberry jam. These keto raspberry thumbprint cookies are soft, melt-in-your-mouth, and perfect for holidays, gifting, or a simple everyday treat.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups finely ground almond flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 12 Tbsp coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted*
- 3 Tbsp sugar-free granulated sweetener**
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract (optional)
- Sugar-free raspberry jam***
- Optional drizzle:
- 1 cup sugar-free powdered sweetener****
- 1–2 Tbsp water, as needed
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a stand mixer (or bowl with a hand mixer) and beat until a thick dough forms. If the dough seems crumbly, add extra melted coconut oil or butter 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll small balls of dough, place on the sheet, and press a thumbprint into the center of each.
- Fill each indentation with ½ teaspoon sugar-free raspberry jam.
- Bake 8–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely before moving—they are fragile when warm.
- (Optional) Mix powdered sweetener with water to make a drizzle glaze. Once cookies are cooled, drizzle on top and add more jam if desired.
Notes
- Swap raspberry jam for strawberry, blackberry, or apricot.
- Add lemon zest for brightness.
- Use brown-style sugar-free sweetener for caramel flavor.
- Drizzle sugar-free chocolate instead of glaze for a richer finish.
- Dough can be chilled overnight or frozen pre-shaped.
