Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar not packed
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup raspberry jam or other jam of choice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together sugars, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add peanut butter, vanilla, and egg and stir together until you have a smooth batter.
  • Wrap batter in plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 30-60 minutes to allow it to firm up
  • Once firm, scoop batter into ~1 inch balls and place on a lined cookie sheet (I use silicone baking mats and swear by them).
  • Press your thumb firmly into the center of the cookies to create an indent. Fill indent with jam so that it's not spilling over the sides (roughly 1/4 tsp).
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the top is just firmed up. Cookies should still be quite soft, but they'll get firmer as they cool
  • Allow cookies to cool on a cooling rack and then enjoy with a nice glass of milk!
