Best Peanut Butter N Jelly Cookies Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIES

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.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIES

Steps:

• Prepare the Peanut Butter Base Dough. While the dough is still streaky, remove the bowl from the mixer and scrape the paddle clean.
• Lightly flour a clean, flat work surface.
• Scrape the dough onto the lightly floured surface. Lightly flour your hands and finish mixing the dough by using a light kneading motion, working until the dough is just blended. Do not overwork the dough, you just want to be certain that all of the ingredients are just blended together.
• Cover the dough tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Line two baking sheets with nonstick silicone baking sheets or parchment paper. (Alternatively, use nonstick baking sheets or lightly butter conventional baking sheets.) Set aside.
• Lightly flour a clean, flat work surface.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and unwrap.
• Place the dough in the center of the floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a piece about 1/2-inches thick. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out the cookies.
• Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• If you wish to create the traditional crisscross pattern on top of the cookies, press the surface using the tines of a fork.
• When all of the cookies are formed, place in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
• Remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.
• When completely cool, spread the jam on the flat side of a cookie. Top with a second cookie, flat-side down, and press together gently.
• Store, airtight, at room temperature for up to a week.
• For the Peanut Butter Base Dough:
• Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl Set aside.
• Place the butter in the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle.
• Begin beating on low speed. Add the sugar, increase the speed to medium, and beat for about 4 minutes, or until light and creamy. Add the peanut butter and beat to incorporate; then, beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula after each addition.
• With the motor running, gradually add the flour mixture, beating just to blend. While the dough is still streaky, remove the bowl from the mixer and scrape the paddle clean.
• Lightly flour a clean, flat work surface.
• Scrape the dough onto the lightly floured surface. Lightly flour your hands and finish mixing the dough by using a light kneading motion, working until the dough is just blended. Do not overwork the dough, you just want to be certain that all of the ingredients are just blended together.
• Cover the dough tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Line two baking sheets with nonstick silicone baking sheets or parchment paper. (Alternatively, use nonstick baking sheets or lightly butter conventional baking sheets.) Set aside.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and unwrap.
• Using a tablespoon or small ice-cream scoop, make mounds of dough. Roll the dough into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place the balls, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Using your palm, gently flatten the top slightly. If you wish to create the traditional crisscross pattern on top of the cookies, press the surface using the tines of a fork.
• When all of the cookies are formed, place in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
• Remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.
• Store, airtight, at room temperature.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Lightly grease a cookie sheet with butter. Combine in a medium mixing bowl 1 cup smooth peanut butter, brown sugar, baking soda, and egg. Roll into 12 balls and evenly space on the cookie sheet.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIES

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!
