Are you someone who loves biting down on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich when you’re craving a tasty snack? Then you’ll be thrilled to know that you can enjoy this combination baked into a crunchy cookie. Here is your guide to making PB&J cookies that are sure to satisfy your deepest cravings.
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup strawberry jelly
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions:
- Pour the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk together using a handheld mixer on a medium-high speed and beat in the butter and peanut butter until smooth.
- Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract and beat until creamy.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the mix and beat using the handheld mixer on medium speed.
- Scoop out the dough using a medium-sized cookie scoop, thereby creating the individual cookies. Press your thumb into the center of each cookie to create a hole and fill it with 1 teaspoon of jelly. Press the dough back together and roll it into a ball.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and refrigerate the cookies for 30 minutes. Once the oven is ready, bake cookies for about 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are still somewhat soft.
