Peanut Butter and Jam Cookies

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter smooth or crunchy
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup jam or jelly any flavor

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Add egg and vanilla, mix well.
  • Stir in baking soda, salt, and flour until just combined.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet, spaced a couple inches apart.
  • Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to gently press a small indent in the center of each cookie.
  • Fill each indent with about 1/2 teaspoon of jam.
  • Gently fold the dough edges up and around the jam, just a little, to help hold it in while baking.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and tops look slightly crackled.
  • Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
