Total Time 36 minutes

Equipment

  • Mixer
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Baking Sheet
  • Silicone Baking Mat (or parchment paper)

Ingredients

  • 10 Tbsp Crunchy Peanut Butter Divided into 1 Tbsp Dollops
  • Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • ½ Cup White Sugar
  • ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ Cup Butter One stick
  • 2 Eggs
  • Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 10 Tsp Strawberry Jam Any jelly/jam that works for your tastes.

Instructions

  • Divide the crunchy peanut butter into 10 equal size dollops. Place in the freezer until ready to use, for ease of handling.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In your mixer bowl, add the creamy peanut butter, white and brown sugars, and butter. Beat on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs to the mixer one at a time, beating to incorporate each time. Once mixed together, add the vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the mixture and continue beating until fully incorporated.
  • Remove the dough from the mixer and divide into 10 equal-sized balls. Place on a baking mat to work with one at a time.
  • One at a time, pick up a ball of dough and flatten into a three-inch circle. Add a teaspoon of jam and one dollop of crunchy peanut butter. Wrap the dough around the filling, pressing together and re-forming into a sphere.
  • Arrange cookies on baking mat or parchment-lined baking sheet with plenty of room to spare. They will flatten and expand while they bake.
  • Bake for 16 minutes, or until golden on top. Remove from oven, allow to cool, and serve.
