Flourless Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

I grew up in a diabetic family, and frequently have to go back myself to a lower carb diet. So I have to say I saw this recipe this morning, looked at the ingredients, and said to myself "yep, I think those will work!" But a warning, I haven't tried this recipe at all yet, so if anybody tries it, could you let us know how it works out with the taste?

For all those who have to watch their sugar or carb intake, here's a cookie to help those cravings for something freshly baked ...
