Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus 3/4 cup, divided
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1 cup whole milk
1 cup whipping cream
2 cups half and half
2 cups strawberries, diced
6 tablespoons strawberry preserves
chopped peanuts, or peanut butter chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 º. Grease a large baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, the egg and teaspoon vanilla, and stir well with a spoon. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. With a fork, dipped in sugar to prevent sticking, press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, and sprinkle the cookies with some of the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Cool slightly before removing from pan.
