Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup jam or jelly

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a mixer, or in a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Mix in the peanut butter until combined, then add in the flour mixture. Mix just until the flour is fully combined into the dough.
  • Roll the dough into 24 equal sized balls, and place 12 on each baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Use a fork to make a criss cross pattern in each ball, flattening slightly.
  • Use your thumb or a knuckle to make an indentation in each ball. 
  • Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of jelly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. If you are baking both sheets at the same time, rotate halfway through the cook time.
  • Let the cookies cool before serving.
