Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol until smooth and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and continue to mix until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and pink Himalayan salt.
- Mix the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be firm and slightly sticky.
- Form the Cookies: Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Make Thumbprints: Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, gently press down in the center of each cookie to create a small well or thumbprint.
- Fill with Raspberry Preserves: Spoon a small amount of sugar-free raspberry preserves into each thumbprint, filling it almost to the top.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy! These Keto Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies are delightful served warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
