4-Ingredient Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies
Ingredients
- 6 oz creamy peanut butter plus more to pipe on top of the cookies
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 5 oz all-purpose flour (or GF flour for a GF version)
- 8 teaspoons sugar-free strawberry jelly or other flavor of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the first 3 ingredients until obtaining a homogeneous mixture. Using a cookie scooper or a tablespoon as measurement, roll dough into balls, place onto the lined baking sheet, and make a hole in the center using the stick of a wooden spoon. Don't poke the hole all the way through-- just more or less halfway deep.
- Fill each hole with about ½ teaspoon of jelly. Bake for about 7-10 minutes or just until cookies set.
- Transfer baking sheet to a rack and let cookies cool. Then, pipe a bit of peanut butter on top of each cookie. If you are not on a sugar-free diet, you can sprinkle a bit of sugar sprinkles on top of the piped peanut butter if desired. Enjoy these peanut butter and jelly cookies with your favorite beverage.
