Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup of your favorite jelly (I like grape)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pulse the peanuts in a food processor until they are a fine meal.
- Add the oats, flour and salt and process until blended.
- Transfer to a bowl.
- In the food processor, combine the butter and sugar and process until light and fluffy.
- With the motor running, add the egg and vanilla.
- Process until smooth.
- Add half of the dry ingredients back into the processor and pulse to combine.
- Add the remaining half and pulse again until combined.
- Drop the cookie dough by the tablespoonful (I use an ice cream scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between the cookies.
- Use your thumb to make a thumb print in each cookie.
- Bake until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Stir the jelly in a small bowl to loosen it up and fill each thumbprint with about 1 teaspoon.
