PB and Cran Cookies

An iconic flavor pairing yet entirely underrated. We get so distracted by louder flavors like chocolate, cinnamon swirls, and mocha, that we forget about the simple bliss of a peanut butter cookie or better yet, a peanut butter jelly sandwich on rye. These cookies combine that nostalgia with a soft, crumbly texture.

Yields 16 cookies

1h 6
Easy Vegetarian Pescatarian Parve

Contains: Peanuts, Egg, Gluten, Wheat

Directions

  1. Mix peanut butter, oil, egg, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until cohesive. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined.

  2. Using a teaspoon, scoop spoonsful of cranberry sauce and drop them into the dough. Gently fold them in so they’re evenly dispersed.

  3. Place the dough in the fridge for one or two hours. (Don’t skip this step — it’s important!)

  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper.

  5. Take the dough out of the fridge. Scoop two tablespoons of dough and roll to form a ball. Place balls on the baking sheet. Lightly press them down in the middle using your thumb or a fork like you would to make traditional peanut butter cookies.

  6. Bake for 12–13 minutes. Allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes when they come out, as they will be too soft to lift.

  7. Optional: Melt peanut putter to make it

    pourable and drizzle over cookies. While

    the peanut butter is still wet, top with

    chopped candied nuts of your choice.

Tips:
When baking (or cooking, for that matter), line your counter top with a garbage bag. The flour messes, egg shells, and oil spills can be neatly rolled up and deposited in the garbage when you’re finished.

I don't like cranberry, can I skip that ingredient?

I'd suggest swapping it out for a different flavor jam you prefer.
