brown sugar substitute
(I used Splenda Brown Sugar blend)
1
egg white

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment.
Separate egg and blend cream cheese, sugar sub blend, and egg white.
Add vanilla, almond flour and salt and mix well.
Refrigerate dough about 15 minutes so it rolls into balls.
Roll dough into balls and drop into egg white then roll in walnut, if using.
Place cookies on sheet about two inches apart. Bake for about 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and press a large thumbprint into each cookie and fill it with the jam.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes or so. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet (to ensure they are all the way done).
