Ingredients

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup jam or jelly

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a mixer, or in a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
Mix in the peanut butter until combined, then add in the flour mixture. Mix just until the flour is fully combined into the dough.
Roll the dough into 24 equal sized balls, and place 12 on each baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Use a fork to make a criss cross pattern in each ball, flattening slightly.
Use your thumb or a knuckle to make an indentation in each ball.
Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of jelly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. If you are baking both sheets at the same time, rotate halfway through the cook time.
Let the cookies cool before serving.
