Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies
This recipe takes peanut butter cookies to the next level by combining classic peanut butter flavor with the sweet-tart tang of raspberry jelly and decadent cream cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 stick butter room temperature
- 8 oz smooth peanut butter
- 4 oz raspberry jelly
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Using a stand mixer, cream the cream cheese, butter, peanut butter and jelly until completely smooth. Be sure to scrape any of the mixture stuck to the sides of the bowl.
- Add the brown sugar and cream for 2-3 minutes, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until incorporated. (About 1-2 minutes.)
- Add the flour, about 1/2 cup at a time until all the flour is incorporated.
- Refrigerate mix till firm, approximately one hour.
- Once firm, roll 1-inch balls spaced 2-inches apart on pre greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Flatten them slightly with the bottom of a glass or using a fork to make hash marks.
- Bake until bottoms are golden and cookies are just set, approximately 8-10 minutes per tray.
