Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup jelly or jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth.

  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
  9. Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of jelly or jam.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of jelly or jam you prefer.
  • For a fun twist, sprinkle the cookies with a little extra sugar before baking.
  • Ensure your butter is truly softened for the best texture.
