Tips for Success

• Creamy Peanut Butter: Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture. Natural peanut butter can make the dough too oily or crumbly.
• Custom Jams: Try experimenting with different flavors of jelly or jam, like strawberry, raspberry, or apricot, to change up the taste.
• Sweetener Options: We use raw sugar, but white sugar is fine as well. Opt for a granulated sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit to make this recipe sugar-free without sacrificing sweetness.

Ingredients

• 1 C Peanut Butter creamy works best
• 1 C Raw Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1/3 C Favorite Jelly

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg together until blended.
• Next, using a cookie scoop, place scoopful of batter onto baking sheet, leaving about 2” in between each cookie.
• Indent each cookie dough with a small measuring spoon.
• Using a teaspoon, drop the jam into the hole ensuring not to overflow the jelly as it will spread as it bakes.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookie has just set. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet. This dough is soft so you don’t want to move them when they are warm or they will fall apart.
• Allow to cook for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!
