Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies
These cookies combine the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter with the sweet, fruity goodness of jelly. They’re not just delicious; they also look adorable with their cute thumbprint indentations filled with your favorite jelly. Let’s get started with the recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Your favorite jelly or jam (strawberry or raspberry works great)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed and smooth.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form small balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, create an indentation in the center of each cookie ball. Be careful not to press too deeply—just enough to hold the jelly.
- Fill each indentation with the jelly or jam of your choice, making sure not to overfill.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies have spread slightly.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once they’re cool, these Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies are ready to be devoured! Enjoy them with friends and family, or keep them all to yourself. Happy baking!
