Peanut Butter and Jelly Stuffed Cookies

I made two different kinds of cookies using the same base recipes, and both tasted delicious! I made both these pb and j stuffed cookies and pb and j thumbprints!

I hope you enjoy both variations of these peanut butter and jelly cookies!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick) Softened butter

1/2 cup brown sugar (loosely packed)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

3/4 ts baking soda (reduce by half for high altitude)

1/4 ts salt

1 egg

1 ts vanilla

1/2 Ts 2% milk

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1/3 cup grape jelly (I’m sure any other flavor of jelly would also work)

80-100 Reese’s peanut butter chips

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425°

2. Mix softened butter with both sugars.

Stir thoroughly, then add flour, baking soda, and salt.

3. Stir in egg, vanilla, and milk.

4. Add peanut butter (and 1 tablespoon water if it is too dry).

5. Make ten balls of dough, about 3 inches apart.

6. Flatten balls, then fill with a small spoonful of grape jelly.

7. Pinch edges around jelly, then roll into a ball and place 4-5 peanut butter chips on top.

8. Bake at 425° for 7 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
