Sugar Free Thumbprint cookies

These are still a work in progress but I attempted a thumbprint cookie, which you see often in those cookie boxes: they are the ones with the jelly in the center.  Well I tried those and made them a little more Colombian by putting some 'arequipe' or more commonly known as dulce de leche in the middle.

As always everything was sugar-free, including the dulce de leche which I bought from a South American food store.  They did taste great but they unfortunately didn't hold very well.

I will try chilling them for longer and seeing if that helps to hold in the print. Another possibility is that I put the filling before I begin baking.  I only added it afterwards because I was afraid it might burn?!?  I know you can do this with jam so I should try it with that next time.

The great thing about these cookies is that with the basic cookie dough recipe, you can fill them with anything really.  Jams in different flavours, chocolate, caramel....cream!  They are such a versatile type of cookie which is what I love.

Once my recipe has been perfected, I will post it on the website under Cookies!

Happy Sugar-Free Baking!
