Pogo Recipe: Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

20 Cookie Sandwiches
Ingredients:
8 Oz. (1 Cup) Crunchy Peanut Butter
6 Tbsp Sweet Butter (unsalted and at room temperature)
1/2 Cup Superfine Sugar
1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar
1 Extra Large Egg (beaten)
1 1/4 Cups Self-Rising Flour
1 Cup Seedless Raspberry Jam (or other jam or jelly)
3 - 4 Baking Sheets
Preheat Oven to: 350 Degrees Fahrenheit
Instructions:
  1. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat the peanut butter and sweet butter in a large bowl until creamy.
  3. Mix in the sugars.
  4. Add the beaten egg and stir until well combined.
  5. Sift in the flour and continue to mix to make a stiff dough.
  6. Use your hands to roll the dough into walnut-sized balls. (It may be necessary to chill the dough for a few minutes beforehand.)
  7. Place the balls on the baking sheets and flatten gently with a fork, making a crosshatch pattern.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350°F. Cookies should be fully-cooked, but not yet brown.
  9. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  10. Using a spoon, put some Jam between pairs of cookies to make little sandwiches of goodness.
