Rayna's Peanut Butter Jammies are a delightful treat, perfect for peanut butter and jelly lovers. Here's a recipe to make these delicious cookies:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup jam or jelly of your choice (such as strawberry, raspberry, or grape)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

2. Mix Peanut Butter and Sugar:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.

3. Add Egg and Vanilla:

   • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.

4. Form Dough Balls:

   • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.

5. Make Thumbprint Indentations:

   • Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to make an indentation in the center of each dough ball. This will create a well for the jam.

6. Fill with Jam:

   • Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of jam or jelly into the indentation of each cookie. You can use your favorite flavor of jam, such as strawberry, raspberry, or grape.

7. Bake:

   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

8. Cool and Enjoy:

   • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Once cooled, serve and enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Jammies!

Tips:

• Peanut Butter: Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture in the cookies.
• Jam: Choose your favorite flavor of jam or jelly to fill the cookies. You can also experiment with different combinations of peanut butter and jam flavors.
• Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the cookies for longer storage.
