Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 120 grams Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 80 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Jam or jelly (your choice of flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the back of a teaspoon or your thumb, gently press a small indentation into the center of each dough ball.
Fill each indentation with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of jam or jelly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butter and Jam Cookies!
