Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the softened butter, peanut butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and mix until well combined.
1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1-1/4 cups light brown sugar, 1 large egg
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a firm dough forms.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking soda
Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the dough into balls. Place six dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Press each ball down gently with the bottom of a measuring cup to flatten.
Place about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam in the center of each flattened dough circle. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the jam, sealing it inside, and place the seam side up on the baking sheet. Allow some jam to peek out from the top.
1/2 cup strawberry jam
Bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool slightly before enjoying.
