Time 35m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter, softened
⅔ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup grape jelly
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 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.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover jelly. I always have a jar of jelly in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I still enjoyed these cookies. The jelly filling is sweet and tart, and the shortbread cookie is perfectly crumbly.
