Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies
These peanut butter and jelly cookies are a fun twist on the classic sandwich, made with just five ingredients. The soft, chewy peanut butter cookie dough comes together quickly with a cake mix, and the jam center adds just the right amount of sweetness. Easy to customize with your favorite jam, these cookies are perfect for any peanut butter lover.
Ingredients
- 1 cup no-stir creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix see note for smaller box adjustment
- 2/3 cup jam or jelly
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, eggs, and oil until smooth. Add the cake mix and stir until fully combined.
- Use a 2-tablespoon scoop to portion the dough. Flatten each scoop between your palms.
- Add a heaped teaspoon of jelly to the center of each flattened dough piece. Pull the dough up around the sides of the jelly, partially encasing it while leaving some visible on top.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 11–14 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before serving or storing.
Notes
- If using a 13.25 ounce box of cake mix, reduce the oil to 1/3 cup and the peanut butter to 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
