Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup strawberry jam
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

  • Cooke dough: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar using an electric mixer. Add the peanut butter and strawberry jam. Beat again until combined.
  • Add egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in 2 additions, mixing well after each addition until no dry flour streaks remain.
  • Add in the peanuts and stir well.
  • Chill dough: Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and shape each portion into an 8-inch-long log. Wrap each log with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours.
  • Bake: Get the oven preheating to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Grab the cookie dough from the fridge and discard the plastic wrap from each log. Cut the cookie dough into ¼ inch slices and arrange about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes until golden. Let them stand on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
