PB&J Cookies

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookie Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray



Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 12 cookies

Ingredients:
-1 cup smooth peanut butter
-1/2 cup light brown sugar
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 large egg
-1/4 cup fruit jam (any other jam works too, you don't need to measure this out, just have the jar ready)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with butter.
3. Combine in a medium mixing bowl 1 cup smooth peanut butter, brown sugar, baking soda, and egg.
4. Roll into 12 balls and evenly space on the cookie sheet.
5. Slightly press cookies down and make a small indentation with index finger. Place 1 teaspoon jam in the indentation.
6. Bake cookies for 15 minutes.
7. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire baking rack to cool completely.

Note: Those cookies are so easy and so yummy that I recommend it even to people who are not fans of baking. You can substitute jam with Hershey's kisses. Just add them as the cookies are cooking.
