  1. Whisk the almond flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl, breaking up any clumps, and set aside. 0:37
  2. Beat the very soft butter with the granular Swerve for 2–3 minutes, until fluffy. 1:02
  3. Beat in the egg and almond extract until creamy, then add the almond flour mixture and beat until a soft dough comes together. 1:25
  4. Roll into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls (about 24) on a lined baking sheet, press each to about 1 cm (1/2 in) thick and make a well in the centre with your thumb or a teaspoon. 2:00
  5. Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are golden. Cool a few minutes, then gently reshape the wells, and let them cool and firm up. 2:46
  6. For the jam, bring the raspberries and water to a boil, then simmer about 5 minutes, mashing the berries. Off the heat, stir in the powdered Swerve, then whisk in the gelatin. 3:11
  7. Cool the jam about 20 minutes, until thick but not set. Dust the cookies with powdered sweetener, spoon about 1/2 tsp jam into each well and let set for 1 hour. 4:25

Tip. Use regular gelatin, not collagen, or the jam won't set. For dairy-free, the cook suggests softened coconut oil instead of butter. Frozen raspberries work as well as fresh.

Vitamin A8%

71 µg a serve, mostly from butter (91%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Zinc6%

0.7 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (86%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Iron5%

0.8 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (84%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Calcium4%

58 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (88%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Selenium4%

2.3 µg a serve, mostly from egg (55%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Potassium3%

160 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (85%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Vitamin C3%

2.7 mg a serve, mostly from raspberries (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Folate3%

13 µg a serve, mostly from almond flour (65%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B123%

0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg (71%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Omega-33%

0 g a serve, mostly from butter (63%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Vitamin B62%

0 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (70%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Vitamin D1%

0.2 µg a serve, mostly from butter (61%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin K1%

1.5 µg a serve, mostly from raspberries (55%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
