Equipment

  • Small Cookie Scoop (1 Tbsp.)

Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup AP flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temp.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg

Strawberry Jam:

  • 1/3 cup strawberry jam 1/2 tsp. per cookie, I rounded up to be safe

Peanut Butter Frosting:

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 f degrees. In a small bowl, stir together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, blend 3/4 of the peanut butter with the room temperature butter on medium speed. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat till smooth, approx. 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until incorporated. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Using a small (1 tablespoon) cookie scoop, drop the dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookies sheets. Using your thumb, gently dent the center of the cookies. Spoon 1/2 tsp. of the strawberry jelly into each center. Bake until lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Remove to a cookie rack and cool.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter and the confectioners’ sugar. With a fork or whisk, stir mixture while adding the milk, a little at a time, until the frosting reaches a good consistency for piping. Using a resealable bag with a tiny corner cut off, pipe the frosting over the cookies.
