PB & J (in a cookie)

I finally found an awesome peanut butter cookie recipe, and instead of filling them with the salted caramel which was how they were served by David Lebovitz...I filled them with pear butter. you could use jam or whatever you prefer, but pear butter was really good...

feel free to leave out the jam or fruit butter and just flatten into regular peanut butter cookies. they are great with a cup of coffee...

recipe slightly adapted from this site.

1 stick soft butter

1/2 each brown sugar, white sugar

3/4 c peanut butter, I used crunchy and it worked well

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 3/4 c flour

preheat oven 350. cream butter and sugars, add peanut butter and egg, vanilla, mix well. add cinnamon, baking soda, salt, mix, stir in four. (if dough seems too dry, add a splash of 1/2 n 1/2 or milk). roll into balls, put on cookie sheet, flatten and put an indent in middle of cookie.

bake approx. 13 minutes, rotate cookie sheet 1/2 way through baking. remove from oven, make indent more pronounced with the back of a spoon and put approx. 1 tsp jam or fruit butter in the indent. cool on rack. enjoy!
