Betty's Peanut Butter Jam Drops (Cookies) image

Holy cow, these jam cookies are fantastic! The peanut butter flavor mixed with the sweet, tart jam is perfection. After baked, the cookie remains soft in the middle with wonderful lightly crisp edges. We used blackberry and strawberry jam in ours. Yum! We liked them best when they were a little warm.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 1/2 oz (300g) butter, softened
2 c crunchy peanut butter
1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 eggs, at room temp
3 3/4 c all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 c jam, your choice

Steps:

  • 1. If you are not refrigerating the dough, preheat the oven to 320F/160C, line baking trays and put aside. If you are refrigerating the dough, leave this step until after you have removed the dough from the fridge.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugars, and vanilla.
  • 3. Add the eggs and continue to beat.
  • 4. Add the flour and baking powder. Stir until combined.
  • 5. Cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes - this is recommended.
  • 6. Roll walnut sized pieces of dough and slightly flatten with your fingertips. Using your thumb, create a dip in the middle of the dough and fill with the jam.
  • 7. Bake in the preheated oven, on parchment lined baking sheets, for about 12-13 minutes. The edges should be golden.
  • 8. Cool completely on the trays.
