Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

For a while we were babysitting one of the "Grandmas" and she wanted a chunky peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch everyday. I am more partial to the creamy variety and so when we were no longer watching her the chunky peanut butter sat.

Now in a care facility my wife suggested I make my peanut cookies with the chunky peanut butter. I thought about it and since she liked peanut butter and jelly I figured why not add the jelly to the cookie, wouldn't it be like a peanut butter Linzer tort cookie?

Directions

Preheat oven to 350º.
In a bowl combine the flour,salt and baking soda.
In the bowl of the mixer place the butters and on slow speed cream them.
Now add the sugars, and continue to mix until completely combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla and fully mix.
Now slowly add the dry ingredients until you have a stiff dough like drop cookie dough.
Using a teaspoon or scoop place tablespoon size balls of dough onto a cookie sheet.
Slightly flatten the balls and with your thumb create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Fill the indentation with the jelly.
Place in the oven and bake for 12 - 15 minutes until the jelly melts and the cookies begin to lightly brown on the top.
Remove from the oven, let them sit on the sheet pan for a minute or two before placing on wire racks to completely cool.
