Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup Butter or margarine
  • 3/4 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • 1 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking soda
  • 1/4 tablespoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Oats
  • 1/2 cup Jelly or jam of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Cream together the butter or margarine, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, vanilla and milk.
  • Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt and oats just until combined.
  • Refrigerate dough for an hour to make handling easier, if you have the time. (This is optional.)
  • Roll about a tablespoon of dough into ball and place on a cookie sheet. When the cookie sheets are full, make an indentation with your thumb in each ball and fill with jam.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I recommend using jam instead of jelly since it is thicker and will not spread as much when baked.
  • Increase the amount of flour by 1/4 cup if you want thicker cookies that do not spread as much.
