Recipe: |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons grape jelly
(strawberry jam may be substituted for grape jelly)
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a bowl whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
In another bowl whisk together peanut butter, butter,
and brown sugar until smooth and whisk in egg and vanilla.
Add flour mixture to peanut butter mixture, stirring until
blended.
Roll pieces of dough into 1-inch balls and roll in granulated
sugar. On a large baking sheet arrange balls 2 inches apart
and bake in middle of oven 10 minutes. Working quickly, with
the back of a 1/4-teaspoon measuring spoon make an indentation
about 1/2 inch in diameter in center of each cookie. Fill each
indentation with slightly heaping 1/4 teaspoon jelly and bake
cookies 10 minutes more, or until golden. Transfer cookies to
racks to cool.
Makes about 30 cookies. |
