PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIES

Your favorite childhood sandwich now in form!

Provided by Shelly

Categories     Cookies

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup creamy peanut butter, plus 1/4 cup, divided
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup peanut butter chips, plus 1/4 more for optional garnish
1/4 cup strawberry preserves or jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Reserve 1 cup of peanut butter for the cookie dough. Set aside.
  • Line a plate with wax or parchment paper. With the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter, scoop out 3/4 teaspoon portions and place them onto the prepared plate. You will need 15 small "dollops" of peanut butter. They don't need to be exact. Place the plate in the freezer while you prepare the cookie dough.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix together 1 cup of peanut butter and the butter until smooth. Add in both types of sugars and mix for 2 minutes on medium speed.
  • Add the egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt and mix for 30 seconds, until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in the peanut butter chips.
  • Using a large cookie scoop (3 1/2 tablespoons) portion out the dough. Remove the plate with the peanut butter dollops. Make a large well in the cookie dough. Scoop out 3/4 teaspoon of the strawberry preserves and place this into the well of the cookie dough. Top this with one of the frozen peanut butter dollops. Form the dough into a ball carefully around the peanut butter and jelly, doing your best to seal it in. Repeat the process with remaining dough, peanut butter and jelly. If working in batches, place the peanut butter scoops back into the freezer to remain firm.
  • Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet 2- inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops start to crack.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and press additional peanut butter chips onto the tops as a garnish, if desired.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Time 1h8m

Yield 15 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray
4 teaspoons reduced-sugar grape jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and sugar together until thoroughly combined. Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract, and stir to combine. The batter will be thick at this point, now it is time to scoop.
  • Using a scant 1 tablespoon portion, drop the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray a small offset spatula with cooking spray and press the balls down until they are 1/3-inch thick; press a little more deeply in the center. Fill each with 1/4 teaspoon of the grape jelly and spread it in a thin layer.
  • Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Let the cookies cool; this part is really important, because it is when the cookies firm up and get their perfect cookie crunch.
  • Cool and EAT!

LISA LOEB'S PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIES



Lisa Loeb's Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies image

**Editor's note:** _Lisa Loeb shared this recipe exclusively with Epicurious. To read more about Lisa and get a peek inside her kitchen, see our [Celebrity Kitchen Tour videos](http://epicurious.com/articlesguides/kitchenequipment/celebrityvideo/lisaloeb)._ These are Lisa Loeb's favorite cookies, a version of Mark Bittman's "Refrigerator (Rolled) Cookies," which appeared in his seminal _How to Cook Everything_. She substitutes high-in-fiber whole-wheat flour for regular all-purpose flour, uses rich dark brown sugar instead of plain, and adds natural peanut butter and an extra pinch of kosher salt for a rich, nutty flavor. Before baking, she tops each cookie with a dollop of all-fruit jam, which balances out the sophisticated saltiness with the perfect hint of sweetness. If you prefer not to use jam, before baking try sprinkling cookies with good-quality sea salt, such as _fleur de sel_, to bring out their sweetness.

Yield Makes about 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
3/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
1 large egg
3 cups whole-wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon whole milk
1/2 cup all-fruit jam (such as St. Dalfour's Four Fruits)

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar at high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add peanut butter and beat until thoroughly incorporated, about 30 seconds. Scrape down bowl, add the egg, and beat until smooth, about 20 seconds.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to butter-sugar mixture and beat at low speed until just combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down bowl, then add milk and beat at low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Gather and press dough together, then divide into 2 equal pieces. Using a sheet of waxed paper as an aid, form each piece of dough into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap logs tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. (Dough can be made ahead and frozen in an airtight bag for up to 6 months).
  • Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly butter 2 large baking sheets.
  • Cut each log crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and arrange slices 1/2 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Top each cookie with a 1/2-teaspoon dollop of jam.
  • Bake cookies until edges are lightly browned and centers are set, about 10 minutes. Cool on sheets 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. (Cookies will keep, stored in a covered container at room temperature, up to 2 days.)

PEANUT BUTTER JELLY COOKIES



Peanut butter jelly cookies image

Enjoy the classic American combo of peanut butter and 'jelly' in a cookie. Buy a good quality raspberry jam or try making our easy homemade jam recipe

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Snack, Treat

Time 32m

Yield makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

70g butter , softened
50g peanut butter
75g light brown sugar
75g golden caster sugar
1 medium egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
180g plain flour
2 tbsp chopped peanuts
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
10 heaped tsp raspberry jam

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and line two baking sheets with parchment. Cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars together until very light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Once combined, stir in the flour, chopped peanuts, bicarb and ¼ tsp salt.
  • Scoop 10 large tbsps of the mixture onto the trays, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading. Make a thumbprint in the centre of the cookies and fill each with 1 heaped tsp raspberry jam (you could make your own jam for this). Bake for 10-12 mins or until firm at the edges but still soft in the middle - they will harden a little as they cool. Leave to cool on the tray for a few mins before eating warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for three days in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • For easier dough handling, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting.
  • Use a lightly floured surface when rolling the dough to prevent sticking.
  • If the dough becomes too soft, place it back in the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown for a soft and chewy texture.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling them with the peanut butter and jelly mixture.
  • For a more intense peanut butter flavor, use a natural or chunky peanut butter.
  • If you don't have any jelly, you can substitute another fruit preserves, such as strawberry or grape.
  • For a fun twist, try dipping the cookies in melted chocolate or white chocolate before filling them.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter and jelly cookies are a classic American treat that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
