Baking

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well blended.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
• In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture, combining until a soft dough forms.
• Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, create a small indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill each indentation with a dollop of fruit jelly or jam.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
• Remove the cookies from the oven, and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
• Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature and enjoy this delicious treat!
