Ingredients
Preparation
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 180°C.< / span>< /div> < div class= "wprm-recipe-instruction-text" style="margin-bottom: 5px" ;="">In a bowl, combine the warmed (until almost hot) peanut butter (milk, maple syrup). and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth. It takes about a minute to fully assemble them.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then add 3/4 cup of the dry mix to the water and make a soft, sticky dough. Depending on your peanut butter and flour, you may need to add a little more flour. The dough will be soft but should not be too runny/sticky. It becomes more manageable as it cools. Chill cookie dough for 15 minutes. If it’s still too sticky, add more flour.
Shape the dough into balls about 1/2″ in diameter 1 inch. large. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make bumps with a measuring spoon or the end of a spatula. Reheat the jam and mix with a spoon to avoid lumps. Fill the bumps with warmed jam or marmalade. (Reheating cans makes it easier to fill cookies neatly).
Bake cookies for 11 minutes.
Before completely cool around it to put away Store on the counter for up to five days or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
