Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten into discs on the baking sheet, placing half as bases.
Add about 1 teaspoon of jelly in the center of each disc.
Top with another disc of dough and seal edges firmly using a fork if desired.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
