Peanut Butter Jelly Cookes Recipe
These gluten free peanut butter and jelly cookies and are super tasty and look beautiful. The perfect pairing of crunchy peanut butter and raspberry jam.
Servings: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 75 g unsalted butter
- 55 g crunchy peanut butter
- 75 g soft brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 g plain gluten free flour
- 30 g chopped peanuts
- 10 tsp raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C / Fan 160C / Gas Mark 4. Line two baking trays with baking paper and set to one side.
- Add the butter, sugar and peanut butter to a large mixing bowl and beat together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and beat together until combined. Add the gluten free flour and chopped nuts and mix together with a wooden spoon. You might need to use your hands as the dough firms to bring it all together.
- Divide the dough into 10 balls (approx 50g each) and place 5 balls on each tray, with space for them to spread a little during cooking (they won't spread much!).
- Using your thumb, make a well in the middle of each ball of dough and fill each one with 1 teaspoon of jam.
- Bake the cookies in the oven for around 10-12 minutes until starting to go firm and golden. Remove from the oven and cool before eating. If you like, sprinkle the jam with a little extra chopped nuts before it cools.
Notes
- Storing and Freezing: These cookies will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container once baked and cooled. You can also freeze the cookie dough and any uneaten cookies.
- Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
