Cookie Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 3 Tbsp. butter, softened
- 1 and ¼ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup honey nut granola, big clumps broken up
Filling
- ¼ cup raspberry jam, or other red jam of your choice
Instructions
- Cream Peanut Butter and Butter: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth and well combined.
- Mix in Powdered Sugar and Granola: Stir in the powdered sugar and broken-up honey nut granola to the peanut butter mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Form Cookies: Roll the dough into 24 balls and place them in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray. Gently press your thumb or the back of a greased spoon into each ball to create a small indentation in the center.
- Fill with Jam: Spoon a small amount of raspberry jam or your preferred red jam into each indentation.
- Chill to Set: Chill the cookies in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm. Store the cookies in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
Notes
- Use any type of red jam depending on your taste, such as strawberry or cherry.
- Ensure the granola has big clumps for texture rather than fine crumbs.
- For easier thumbprints, grease your thumb or spoon before pressing the dough.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- These cookies are no-bake, making them ideal for hot days or quick dessert fixes.
