Hmm, Hmm, Good

These are really tasty. I've tweeked a few things but the original recipe is here at JustJenn Recipes.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1½ cups brown sugar, packed
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1½ tsp. vanilla extract
3½ cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt
1¼ cups jelly or seedless jam

1. Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and peanut butter. Add both sugars. Add eggs, one a time. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Scoop out about a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten in your palm. Place a teaspoon of jelly in the center and pinch the dough around the jelly to seal the cookie.
5. Bake about 10 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Don't over bake. Let cool slightly on cookie sheet before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

  2. These are so delicious we can't stop eating them! CAN'T STOP! Even Annabel ate two, and she is not a big fan of peanut butter (weird, I know).
