Method
-
step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Tip the peanut butter, eggs, sugar and vanilla into a food processor and whizz until smooth, add the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt and pulse until it forms a ball. Roll the dough into 30 walnut-sized balls, and push your thumb into the middle of the cookies, as you put them onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper or a silicone baking mat. Add ¼ tsp peanut butter into the indent in the cookies, mix the jam to loosen it, and spoon small blobs on top of the peanut butter.

step 2
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until they look dry, and starting to crack. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, before cooling
on a wire rack.
