Peanut butter and jam cookies sound amazing, and it’s a different take on holiday baking. This recipe by OnePotChefShow on YouTube shows how to take classic childhood flavors and make them into a buttery cookie. I think it’s a unique cookie recipe because it’s not a traditional cookie that you would bake during the holidays. However, this is perfect for kids and can be made for Christmas parties. They look so good, and they remind me of the traditional shortbread cookies with a jam filling. This would cater to those that love peanut butter and jam, and you can choose any type of jam too.
First, in a large mixing bowl, add room temperature butter, peanut butter, white granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to beat all of the ingredients together until it’s light and fluffy. Then, beat the egg into the mixture.

Next, once the cookie dough is ready, roll them into a ball, and place them on a baking tray with parchment paper. Use your thumb to create an indentation at the center of the cookie, and fill the center with jam. Bake in a preheated oven at 320F for 12-15 minutes.
Overall, I would love to make this cookie, and it would be a great way to eat PB&J instead of a sandwich. This would be fun to make because I would add different types of jams for variation.
