3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup seedless jam (more for topping)

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, beating until fluffy. Mix in the peanut butter until well combined.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually mix into the wet ingredients just until the dough forms.
Shape the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with a fork dipped in sugar.
Spoon a small amount of jam into the center of each cookie.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool on the pans for 5-10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
