Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix it up until it’s nice and smooth.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Now, make a little indent in the center of each dough ball. This is where the magic happens; you’ll be adding the jelly!
  6. Fill each indent with a small spoonful of jelly. Don’t be shy, but keep it just enough so it doesn’t overflow.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn slightly golden.
  8. 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!
