Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until smooth dough forms.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten into discs, and place half on the prepared baking sheet.
Add about 1 teaspoon of jelly in the center of each disc.
Top with another disc of dough and press edges to seal tightly. Use a fork to create decorative edges.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown around the edges.
Let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
