Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cream the butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Add creamy peanut butter, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined.
Stir in the all-purpose flour and salt until a dough forms.
Form the dough into 1-inch balls.
Roll each ball in unsalted dry roasted peanuts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the coated balls about 2 inches apart on a large cookie sheet.
Bake the cookies for 5 minutes.
Using a small melon baller or your thumb (be cautious not to burn yourself), make a deep indentation in the center of each cookie to flatten slightly.
Carefully spoon about 1 teaspoon of fruit preserves into each indentation. Do not overfill!
Continue baking for about 15 minutes longer, or until the cookies are golden and cracked.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these delightful Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite hot beverage for a satisfying treat any time of day! 🍪🥜🍓
