Notes: - Butter: Use unsalted butter to avoid overly salty cookies. Butter adds a rich flavour and helps ensure those crispy edges.
- Shortening: Adding shortening will help the cookie fluff help and retain its shape.
- Peanut Butter: For best results use creamy peanut butter. I used Jif. Avoid natural peanut butters which can be too oily.
- Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Ensure these are less than 6-12 months old as they do lose their effectiveness over time.
- Jam: Jam is made with fruit, not fruit juice. Use your favourite flavour. Grape and raspberry would be tasty too.
Tips
- Measure Your Flour Correctly: Spoon flour into your measuring cup. Scooping into the flour will result in too much which will lead to a dry cookie.
- Equal Size Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform size. This looks pretty but also helps them all finish baking around the same time.
- Don't Over Mix: Stir until the ingredients are just combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough dense cookie.
- Give Them Space: When adding the cookies to the baking sheet, leave space for them to spread while they're baking.
- Don't Overbake: Cookies are done when the edges are golden brown. It is okay if the middle looks a little underdone it will continue to firm up as it cools.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool for a few moments on the baking sheet to firm up after pulling them from the oven. You'll want to add the jam when they're still warm but not piping hot.
- No Flavor Injector? No problem! Spread jam between two cookies for a cookie sandwich!
