Best 3 Peanut Butter And Jelly Thumbprint Cookies Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat butter, peanut butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Add egg to butter mixture and beat on medium speed until blended. Scrape side of bowl down again.
• Beat flour mixture into butter mixture on low speed until just blended. Scrape bowl and mix a few more seconds.
• Scoop dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls and arrange on a baking sheet. Cover baking sheet and refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is ideal).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange cookie balls atop paper.
• Bake cookies in the preheated oven until partially cooked, 11 minutes.
• Place raspberry jam in a bowl and stir until syrup consistency.
• Press a soda bottle cap into the center of each cookie until edges of cookies bulge and begin to crack, making an indentation. Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon jam.
• Bake cookies until edges are lightly browned, 7 minutes longer. Cool cookies completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth; add the vanilla and continue to beat. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange on prepared baking sheets. Make a small hole in the center of each ball, using your thumb and finger; fill the holes with grape jam.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 14 minutes; allow to cool on baking sheet for 1 minute.
• Put the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl, and cook in a microwave oven until soft for 10 - 30 seconds, checking every 10 seconds. Be careful not to overheat the peanut butter; do not let it bubble. Stir the vegetable oil through the heated peanut butter; drizzle over the warm cookies.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pulse the peanuts in a food processor until they are a fine meal. Add the oats, flour and salt and process until blended. Transfer to a bowl. In the food processor, combine the butter and sugar and process until light and fluffy. With the motor running, add the egg and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add half of the dry ingredients back into the processor and pulse to combine. Add the remaining half and pulse again until combined.
• Drop the cookie dough by the tablespoonful (I use an ice cream scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between the cookies. Use your thumb to make a thumb print in each cookie.
• Bake until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• Stir the jelly in a small bowl to loosen it up and fill each thumbprint with about 1 teaspoon.
