Ingredients

• 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• the jam or jelly of your choice (I used strawberry jam)

Instructions

1. Beat together butter, peanut butter, both sugars, egg, and vanilla until creamy.
2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
4. Scoop the dough into balls and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
5. Press your thumb into the center of the balls of cookie dough to create an indentation. Fill this with a small spoonful of the jam of your choice.
6. Bake the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet in a 170°C oven for 15-18 minutes.
7. Allow to rest on the tray for five minutes before transferring to a rack to finish cooling.
