These Peanut Butter and Jelly cookies are a fun, new take on traditional peanut butter cookies. My kids actually like them BETTER than the regular kind.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup peanut butter at room temperature, smooth or chunky
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup Smucker's Fruit & Honey Concord Grape Jelly
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and the peanut butter together until fluffy. Add the sugars and beat until smooth.
- Add the egg and mix well.
- Add the milk and the vanilla extract.
- Add the flour mixture and beat thoroughly.
- Make the dough into balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons or a traditional-sized cookie scoop) then place onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving several inches between for expansion.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon or your thumb, press a hole into the top of each ball. Do not flatten out. Keep the dough round. It will expand.
- Place about 1/2 teaspoon of jelly into each hole so the jelly just fits in the hole.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake. Cookies may appear to be underdone, but they are not.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
