Author: The holiday season is swiftly approaching which means many people are now beginning their holiday baking. I know for myself, I will be baking 15+ different types of cookies for my family and friends.
The following recipe is one of my family’s favorite cookie recipes.
Oatmeal Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies
1 cup butter
1 3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups peanut butter chips
1 1/2 cup quick oats (oatmeal)
3/4 cup jelly
Cream butter and brown sugar in a bowl. Add eggs and vanilla, beat until light and creamy. In another bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture. Reserve 1/2 cup peanut butter chips. Stir in oats and 1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips. Shape dough into 1″ balls. Place balls on ungreased cookie sheet. Press center of each with your thumb to make a deep depression in the cookie. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes until done. Remove from cookie sheet and cool. Fill center of each cookie with 1/4 teaspoon of jelly. Top with a few peanut butter chips.
