Peanut butter thumbprints
Ingredients
- 3/4 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup Health Garden Baking Sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp Health Garden Stevia

- ½ ounces good quality dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 5 tbsp Health Garden Confectioners Sweetener
- 2 ½ ounces good quality unsweetened chocolate
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Candy monster eyes, if desired
Instructions
Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 325F and line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in sweetener until well combined, then beat in egg, vanilla extract, and stevia. Beat in the peanut flour mixture.
- Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet (you should get about 30 balls). Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand and then create a well in the center of each with your thumb (you may need to wet your hands a few times).
- Bake 12 to 16 minutes, until puffed and just golden brown and barely set. They will still be very soft. Remove from oven. Use the end of a wooden spoon or other blunt, round kitchen implement to gently re-do the wells in the center of each cookie. Let cool completely.
