These small little treats are just delicious. We couldn't keep them on the counter very long. I'm sad they're gone!
Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies
adapted from Martha Stewart Living
1 1/4 cups of whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup all-natural peanut butter
1/2 cup applesauce, no sugar added
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup reduced sugar raspberry or strawberry jam
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients (minus the jam) in a bowl and mix well.
Scoop tablespoons of dough, and form into balls and place on a cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the cookies are puffy. Remove from oven, and make indentions in centers by pressing with your thumb (do it quickly, those suckers can be hot!). Return to the oven for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to wire racks and let cool completely.
Heat jam in a small saucepan, stirring, until loosened, about 30-45 seconds. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon into each indention. Store cookies in a single layer. Enjoy.
These freeze well.

I can't resist anything with peanut butter. It is pure yummyness! I will try these out on my little folk. Thanks for sharing!
I tried these tonight. My husband and I love them! He started eating them before I had the jam on them. I asked him if he wanted jam on them, and he was like, "Oh, I will eat them with jam too!" They are tasty. I like the cookie, and think I will use it for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies as well or peanut butter cookies with a kiss on top. Yum. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
