Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam any jam will work
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter and peanut butter. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until combined.
- Add in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy..
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated.
- Add in the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until a dough ball forms. If you want the cookies to keep their shape a little better, at this point cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Chilling isn’t necessary for this recipe.
- Scoop the cookies out using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop. Roll the dough ball between your two palms until smooth.
- Press down in the center of the dough using a measuring spoon, measuring cup, your finger, etc to form the thumbprint center.
- Place each cookie ball onto the prepared cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Place a teaspoon (or more depending on how big of a thumbprint you made) of jam into the hole.
- Place into the preheated oven and bake for 12 – 14 or until done. Place on a cooling rack to cool. If you need the jam to spread out more, gently spread out with a toothpick.
