Peanut Butter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies

SERVES: 20 cookies PREP: 15 minutes TOTAL TIME: 2 hours, 45 minutes (including chilling)

These nostalgic PB&J cookies will bring you back to childhood with every bite.

This tastes like childhood, if you had PB&Js in your lunch box every day. This flavor combo is classic for a reason, and you can switch up the jam flavor inside the thumbprint to whatever you like. Unless you have a perfectly round thumb, you’ll need to shape the divot in the middle into more of a circle so the jam doesn’t start to slide out. And if you have a perfectly round thumb, show me, because that’s weird and cool.

NOTE: These cookies are part of Cravings’ One Dough, Three Holiday Cookies story, so the base sugar cookie dough makes three different cookies. You only need ⅓ of the dough to make Peanut Butter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies—the rest makes Ombré Iced Sugar Cookies and Spice Cookies.

For the cookies:

  • 4 ¼ cups flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 3 sticks unsalted butter

  • 2 ¼ cups sugar

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 teaspoon vanilla

For the peanut butter & jelly cookies:

  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

  • ½ cup finely chopped salted peanuts

  • cup strawberry or raspberry jam
