Yes, you can put that in a cookie.

Crumbly-tumbly peanut butter and jelly cookies, a la my mom (although I only get this information secondhand from Emily; I don't think she ever made them for me.) The recipe is straight from Joy of Cooking (coincedentally, probably the same copy she used to make them back in the '70s) but the jelly thumbprints are all momma's.

Preheat the oven to 375.
Cream together:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
Beat in:
1 egg
1 cup peanut butter (softened in the microwave)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
Add and mix in:
1 1/2 cups flour (I used half whole wheat)
Add:
1/2 tsp vanilla
Roll the dough into small balls and place on a buttered cookie sheet. Flatten each a little, then make a well by pressing your thumb into the middle. Fill each thumbprint with strawberry jam and bake for about 10 minutes.



They really do taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (without any crusts.)
