Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (one stick) butter
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cup sifted flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • Additional 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup grape jelly

Instructions

  1. In a sturdy mixer, cream butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add sugars gradually and cream until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add sifted dry ingredients gradually to butter mixture and mix until blended.
  3. Using a round teaspoon of dough for each cookie, shape the dough into round balls. Roll the balls in the 1/3 cup granulated sugar to coat.
  4. Use your thumb or a small kitchen implement to stamp small round indentations in each cookie (if the cookie cracks, it's OK - just don't go all the way through). Fill each hole with a tiny amount of blueberry jam.
  5. Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Serves 8 to 10.
