Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter plus 2 tablespoons more to drizzle on top of cookies (optional)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar plus 1/4 cup more to roll cookies in (optional)
- 1 whole large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup strawberry or raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats. Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and creamy. About 2-4 minutes.
- Add in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix until combined. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again.
- In a separate large bowl, combine and whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined and a dough has formed.
- Use a mini ice cream scoop to form cookie dough balls. Roll dough balls into sugar (optional). Place on prepared cookie sheet place 2 inches apart. Use a 1/4 teaspoon spoon, the handle of a wooden spoon, or your thumb to gently press an indentation into the top of each cookie. Melt jam for 10-30 seconds and fill each hole to the top with melted jam.
- Bake cookies for 9-10 minutes. They will bake when they are cooling as well. Let sit on baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Drizzle with melted peanut butter (optional) and enjoy!
