Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen Rich peanut butter and sweet, fruity jelly are a classic combo, but these bite-sized cookies bring the two together in a new an inventive way.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 c. unsalted butter
  • 1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
  • 1 c. creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 c. finely chopped unsalted, roasted peanuts
  • 1 c. apricot preserves or raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the peanut butter, then the egg and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
  3. Place the peanuts in a shallow bowl. Roll the dough into 3/4-inch balls (about a level teaspoon each) and coat with the chopped nuts. Transfer the balls to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. With a floured finger, make an indentation in the center of each ball, making sure not to go all the way through. Fill each cookie with 1/4 teaspoon jam.
  4. Bake, rotating the positions of the pans halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and starting to brown lightly around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
