Recipe Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup raspberry jelly
Cooking Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter, brown sugar and sugar; beat until smooth. Add egg and mix thoroughly. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well mixed. Refrigerate, covered, for 1 hour.
- When dough has finished chilling, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Shape into 1-inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet about 2-inches apart. Press a deep hole into the center of each ball with the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
