By luvmybuttonsnbows

Ingredients

• 8 Oz.
• (1 Cup) Crunchy Peanut Butter
• 6 Tbsp
• Sweet Butter (unsalted and at room temperature)
• 1/2 Cup Superfine Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar
• 1 Extra Large Egg (beaten)
• 1 1/4 Cups Self-Rising Flour
• 1 Cup Seedless Raspberry Jam (or other jam or jelly)
• 3 - 4 Baking Sheets

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat Oven to: 350

1. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Beat the peanut butter and sweet butter in a large bowl until creamy.
3. Mix in the sugars.
4. Add the beaten egg and stir until well combined.
5. Sift in the flour and continue to mix to make a stiff dough.
6. Use your hands to roll the dough into walnut-sized balls. (It may be necessary to chill the dough for a few minutes beforehand.)
7. Place the balls on the baking sheets and flatten gently with a fork, making a crosshatch pattern.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350°F. Cookies should be fully-cooked, but not yet brown.
9. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
10. Using a spoon, put some Jam between pairs of cookies to make little sandwiches of goodness.
