Peanut Butter and Jelly thumbprint

Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint

Sharon My Ideas
Is this a cookie or are you biting into your favorite childhood sandwich. This thumbprint is SO good. This peanut butter dough feels like you are eating peanut butter with a spoon. Honestly you can put whatever jelly you prefer in the center of this cookie but for me it's strawberry all day long!
