Even strict low carb lifestyles generally allow for occasional sweet treats. These peanut butter cookies with a raspberry Chambord jam filling are definitely worth the occasional cheat day!
The best peanut butter cookie recipe I have run across is a crunchy, crumbly cookie from Linda Weber, which I found in a Fine Cooking magazine, April/May 2001. I filled the cookies with some of our Raspberry Jam, and the result was extraordinary!
You could, of course, add any jam or chocolate, or cream filling you wanted with delicious results. Nutella would be a classic filling. I think I’ll try them next with a blueberry jam.
Try these with your favorite filling. You can’t possibly go wrong!
