Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 180 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Fruit jelly or jam (any flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out dough balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, gently press a small indentation into the center of each dough ball.
Fill each indentation with a small amount of jelly or jam, being careful not to overfill.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
