Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt (I prefer Kosher Salt)
  • 1/3 cup your favorite Jelly
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cream 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Add 3 tablespoons granulated sugar until fully combined, about 30 seconds. Beat in 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and 2 tablespoons milk.
  • In a separate medium size bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons corn starch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt . Stir with a fork until combined.
  • Add flour mixture to wet ingredients, a little at a time, until fully combined.
  • Mix in 1/2 cup peanut butter.
  • Using a small ice cream scooper, scoop dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Using your hands, form each scoop into a ball.
  • Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 1 minute. Using the back of a teaspoon or your thumb, create an indentation in the middle of the cookie. Fill the indentation with about 1 teaspoon of jelly.
