Peanut Butter & Jam Thumbprint Cookies

Your favorite peanut butter and jelly sandwich meets thumbprint cookie: a soft and buttery cookie packed with peanut butter flavor and filled with a bright and fruity strawberry jam.

These bite-sized peanut butter thumbprint cookies are filled with a dollop of bright strawberry jam (but you can use whatever kind of jam you have on hand, or even opt for a chocolate or caramel filling, yum!) The peanut butter-packed dough comes together in minutes and can be baked right away—no chilling required!

Rows of Peanut Butter & Jam Thumbprints on a wire baking rack, with bowl of strawberry jam and a few more cookies scattered around it.

If you’re anything like me, you have a pantry full of homemade jam, and have also realized that, aside from the occasional charcuterie board or peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you really don’t consume all that much jam (guilty as charged… I like making it—and giving it away—more than I like eating it).

That’s why I’m all about creative recipes using jam, or jams in action if you will. From desserts like these jam-filled thumbprints, to savory dishes like marmalade-roasted chicken and jammy baked brie puffs, if you’ve got a partial jar of jam that needs to be used, I’ve got you covered!
