Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Grape or Strawberry Jam
• ¾ cup all purpose flour, sifted
• ¾ tsp. salt
• ⅓ cup sugar
• ½ cup peanut butter, creamy or chunky
• ½ stick unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tbs. vanilla
• 1 tbs. honey

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a bowl, whisk together all of your dry ingredients. In a second bowl, beat butter and peanut butter until smooth, adding the egg, honey and vanilla gradually. Finally, mix in dry ingredients until fully blended.
3. Using a tablespoon, drop cookie dough by the spoonful onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Press the cookie down slightly, making an indentation with your thumb in the center. Bake for 8-10 minutes then take the cookies out.
4. Working quickly, carefully drop of ¼ tsp of jam into the indentations, then bake approximately 5-7 minutes longer or until golden.
