Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies
These cookies blend the creamy goodness of peanut butter with the sweet delight of jelly. Just imagine biting into a soft cookie with a burst of flavor that reminds you of childhood lunchboxes. Here’s how to bring this treat to life!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup jelly or jam of your choice (strawberry and grape work great)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix it up until it’s nice and smooth.
- Add in the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Blend everything until it’s well combined and you have a smooth dough.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between each ball.
- Now, make a little indent in the center of each dough ball. This is where the magic happens; you’ll be adding the jelly!
- Fill each indent with a small spoonful of jelly. Don’t be shy, but keep it just enough so it doesn’t overflow.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn slightly golden.
- Once done, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
And there you have it! These Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies are ready to be devoured. Perfect as a snack or with a glass of milk, they’re gonna be a hit. So, share them with family, friends, or just enjoy them all by yourself. Happy baking!
