Uncle Mac's Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies recipe

12 servings

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup white sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons fruit preserves, any flavor

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until well blended.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Use a fork to make a criss-cross pattern on the top.

Make a small hole in the top of each cookie using the handle of a wooden spoon.

Fill the holes with preserves.

Bake for 8 to 11 minutes in preheated oven.

Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
