Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies - 7g Carbs, 1g Fiber

From: The South Beach Diet (Phase 2)
A Healthy Twist on a Halloween Treat - -
For many, Halloween is a day filled with candy and all sorts of sugary
foods and desserts. If you're following the South Beach Diet and you're
worried about overindulging, fear not — you can still enjoy an occasional
treat. Skip the goodie bag and try this healthier alternative instead.
Whether you're hosting or attending a Halloween party, or you're looking
to bake something for your family, this delicious recipe is sure to
satisfy your sweet tooth.

Who would believe you can get such a delectable cookie out of such a
simple recipe and with so few ingredients? (And that's right, there's
no flour!) The not-too-sweet, deep nutty flavor — topped with a touch
of fruit — is perfect for kids young and old. These cookies are so
good that I need to remind you to limit yourself to one serving!

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 14 minutes
Serves: 12

3/4 cup granular sugar substitute
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup creamy trans-fat-free peanut butter
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup sugar-free jam, any flavor

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla together with an electric mixer
on low for 3 minutes. Add peanut butter and baking soda. Mix on medium
until dough comes together, about 30 seconds.

Form dough into 24 (2-teaspoon) balls and place on baking sheet 1" apart. Gently press your thumb into the center of each to make an indentation.
Fill each indentation with 1/2 teaspoon jam.

Bake until lightly browned on the bottom, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer
to a wire rack to cool completely.
