Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each dough ball.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of jelly or jam.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
