Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Jam or fruit preserves (any flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Gently press your thumb into the center of each dough ball to create a small well. Be careful not to press all the way through the dough.
Fill each well with a small amount of jam or fruit preserves, about 1/2 teaspoon per cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
