These are just like the shortbread and jam cookies you know, but with the taste of peanut butter and grape jelly.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter , softened
  • 0.67 cups white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups grape jelly
  • 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1.5 teaspoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth; add the vanilla and continue to beat. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange on prepared baking sheets. Make a small hole in the center of each ball, using your thumb and finger; fill the holes with grape jam.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 14 minutes; allow to cool on baking sheet for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Put the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl, and cook in a microwave oven until soft for 10 - 30 seconds, checking every 10 seconds. Be careful not to overheat the peanut butter; do not let it bubble. Stir the vegetable oil through the heated peanut butter; drizzle over the warm cookies.
