Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 pieces large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups jam or fruit preserves (any flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, a little at a time, until fully combined and a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Using the back of a small spoon or your thumb, gently press an indent into the center of each dough ball. Be careful not to press all the way through the dough.
Step 8
Fill each indent with about 1/2 teaspoon of jam or fruit preserves.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The cookies will look slightly underdone in the center but will firm up as they cool.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butter Jammies with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of tea!
