In a bowl add the peanut butter, sugar and the egg
Add the vanilla extract if using
Combine them all together with a spatula until mixed and the dough comes together
The cookie dough is ready
Scoop about 8 regular sized balls from the dough using a cookie scoop or just roll the cookie is your hands and place them in a lined cookie sheet. Leave at least an inch space all around.
Slightly press down and make a small well using your thumb or the back of a honey drizzling spoon.
Spoon in half a teaspoon full of the jelly on each of the cookie.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven of 180 degrees Celsius until the cookies are set, baked until the edges are slightly brown and the jelly is bubbling
Cool completely and remove from the baking tray.
This will ensure no risk of breaking and the cookies will remain crispy on the edges and chewy throughout.
Enjoy with hot chocolate or tea
Notes
Use Peanut butter or any nut butter of choice. Same recipe will work
