Ingredients

3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
2 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, measured correctly by spooning flour into measuring cup and leveling off with a knife
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
2-3 Tbsp. strawberry jam, or jam of your choice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the softened butter, peanut butter and brown sugar and mix until smooth. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop the dough into two large balls. Place the balls on your baking sheet at least 3 inches apart because these cookies will spread.
Make a heart-shaped indent using your finger (as shown above). Fill with jam and flatten the edges slightly with your finger. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and puffy. Cool on your baking sheet for 5 minutes or so before removing to a wire rack.

Notes

Use whatever jam you fancy for these cookies.

Use creamy peanut butter for this recipe. If you opt for all natural peanut please make sure you stir it up until it's smooth before adding to the butter and brown sugar.

Only have salted butter? Just use that and omit the extra salt in the recipe.
