Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 3/4 C sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 C peanut butter
• 1 tsp baking soda

Directions

1. 1- beat the first 3 ingredients together for 3 min. on low

2. 2- add the last two (the butter and soda), and whip together for approx 30 sec. (Just enough to get them together)

3. 3- roll with your hands into little balls. This works well if your hands and cold and slightly wet (cold water). Dough will be very sticky.

4. 4- place on your cookie sheet (*optional, covered with parchment) and squish with your thumb, or index finger.

5. 5- plop a wee bit of jam (any) in the middle- approx 1/4 tsp or less in each one. Marionberry or raspberry are good. Or apricot, whatever you like.

6. 6- Bake on cookie sheet for approx 12-14 min.

7. *Being in a higher elevation, the dough may not be as wet as if you made it as sea level, but that’s fine. Also, baking time, may be a little less. Also depends on your oven. I would aim for 11min, and check.

8. 7- let sit for about 1 or 2 min on sheet, and then remove onto wire rack to cool.

9. 8- ENJOY. Yum.

10. Notes:

11. ~ depending on your preference, the peanut butter Jiff, natural, creamy, crunchy, etc doesn’t matter. They are all good.
12. ~The parchment helps the cookie removal from baking sheet.
