Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup jelly

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer to beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Crack in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  • Scoop out about 3 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and use your thumb or a spoon to press a well into the center of each ball.
  • Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of your favorite jam into the well of each cookie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Start checking at 8 minutes—edges should be lightly browned and just pulling away from the tray.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
