Coconut & Jam Thumbprint Cookies - Reduced Sugar Recipe

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and Purecane™ Brown Sweetener for 2 minutes.
Add the egg and beat for 1 more minute.
Fold in the almond flour until well-incorporated. (The dough will be on the stickier side).
Wrap the cookie dough tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes or the freezer for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
Form small cookie balls (about 1-2 tablespoons). Roll the cookie dough balls in the finely shredded coconut.
Press your thumb in the center of each to create an indent in the center.
Fill the indentions with jam of choice.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Enjoy!
