Serves: 11
Ingredients
  • 115 grams (1 stick or ½ cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 and ½ cup plain flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup strawberry jam
Directions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until combined.
  2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla until smooth and creamy. Stir in the peanut butter.
  3. Sift in the flour and baking soda and gently mix together with a wooden spoon or spatula until it forms a dough.
  4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  5. While the dough is chilling, line two baking trays with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F.
  6. Roll the dough into balls and place onto the baking trays. Use a fork lightly dusted with flour to make a criss cross pattern on the top of the cookies.
  7. Pop into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden brown. If you like your cookies a little more crunchy, leave them in for a minute or two longer.
  8. Remove the cookies from the oven and leave to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Once the cookies have cooled completely, smear a teaspoon of strawberry jam onto one and sandwich another on top.
  10. The cookies with jam are best eaten immediately. Keep the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
