1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

About 60 unwrapped Chocolate Kisses

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and peanut butter on medium-high speed.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY THUMBPRINT COOKIES



Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies image

These cookies are great for kids of all ages. I usually double the recipe when I make them. Using a cookie scoop and soda bottle cap to make the indentations results in uniform cookies, which makes a nice presentation. But you can improvise with other lids; just aim for something about the size of a quarter. Use any variety of jelly, but I do not recommend jelly with chunks of fruit, like strawberry. Attempting to move the cookies prior to cooling completely will cause them to break.

Time 4h50m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter
⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
¾ cup seedless raspberry jam

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.

Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield about 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup of your favorite jelly (I like grape)

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.

Time 3h35m

Yield 108

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 (12 ounce) bag Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Chips
¼ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 (11 ounce) package Ghirardelli Grand Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Chips

Steps:

  • Prepare the Cookies: Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter with a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until incorporated after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating on low speed just until blended and smooth. Cover and chill 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Scoop dough into balls using a 1-inch cookie scoop (about 1/2 tablespoon); place 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Press your thumb or the end of a wooden spoon into center of each ball, forming an indentation. Keep unused dough chilled while baking cookies.
  • Bake, in batches, in preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes; transfer to wire racks. Lightly press your thumb into indentations again while cookies are warm to reinforce shape. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the Filling: Place first bag of Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Chips, heavy cream, and butter in a medium-size microwaveable bowl, and microwave on medium (50% power) until melted and smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Let stand 15 minutes.
  • Transfer filling to a piping bag or a heavy-duty zip-top bag with 1/2 inch snipped from 1 corner.
  • Pipe filling into indentation in each cookie, about 1 teaspoon per cookie. Press 3 Ghirardelli Grand Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips onto the filling of each cookie. Let stand until chocolate filling is firm, about 1 hour.

Tips:

- Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading. - Roll the dough into small balls and press your thumb into the center of each one to form an indentation. - Be careful not to overfill the indentations with jelly, or the cookies will spread too much. - Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. - Allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting them.
