I have always loved peanut butter and jelly together. This cookie uses the premise of the ever popular thumbprint cookie, and the equally popular peanut butter cookie. In combination you have a cookie that is very fun with a familiar popular taste. What a treat! Use your favorite flavor of jam or jelly,...or make an assortment.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter, unsalted, cut in pats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter, smooth or chunky
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • - jam or jelly

How To Make peanut butter and jelly thumbprints

  • Step 1
    Place all ingredients (except jam) in a large bowl. Use hands to mix well.
  • Step 2
    Make 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch balls. You should have 20. Place on cookie sheet, leaving room to spread out. If you have a large enough cookie sheet, they should fit 4 wide and 5 long.
  • Step 3
    Gently press with thumb in the center of each ball to make an indentation. Don't press too hard. It is normal for the dough to crack a bit.
  • Step 4
    Spoon a bit of jam in each center of cookie. Do not over fill.
  • Step 5
    Bake in a 325 degree oven for 22-24 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool until warm on cookie sheet. The cookies are too fragile to transfer when they are hot.
  • Step 6
    When sufficiently cooled, transfer cookies with a spatula to a rack to cool completely.
  • Step 7
    Store airtight between layers of waxed paper. Make 20 cookies.
