Equipment

Mixing Bowl
Cookie sheets
Parchment paper
ice cream scoop
Fork
Wire rack

Ingredients

2 cups 1.1 GF flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter + 1 tbsp for topping
1 tbsp vanilla extract
16 tbsp butter, room temperature
2 eggs
⅓ cup raspberry jelly or your favorite flavor
2 tbsp chopped peanuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line four cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugars, and mix on high for 5 minutes until creamy.
Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and peanut butter. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour, kosher salt, baking soda, baking powder) into the mixture. Mix until just incorporated. Avoid over-mixing to maintain the texture.
Use an ice cream scoop to form equal-sized cookie dough balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie in a criss-cross pattern.
Top each cookie with approximately 1 teaspoon of jelly, spreading it slightly on top.
Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges turn slightly golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle a little peanut butter on top of each cooled cookie and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
Enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies!
