Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Additional granulated sugar for rolling
  • 1/3 cup raspberry jam plus more, if needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter until smooth. Add the peanut butter and both granulated and brown sugars. Beat until the mixture is light and creamy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Using a small scoop or tablespoon, roll the dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each ball in additional granulated sugar and place them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Gently press your thumb into the center of each ball to create an indentation and spoon about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam into each.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
