Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Fruit jelly or jam (strawberry, raspberry, or grape)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. 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 combined. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use the tines of a fork to gently press the cookies down in a crisscross pattern, flattening them slightly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cool, pair them by size and spread about 1 teaspoon of jelly or jam onto the flat side of one cookie. Place the flat side of a second cookie on top to create a sandwich.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and jelly until all cookies are sandwiched together.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
