i just saw giada making these on her show the other day and thought i'd try them, they looked so good! they stood out to me because they're not your usual combo of cookie ingredients -- peanut butter, chocolate and blackberry jam. but they end up complimenting each other very well ...
recipe
1c flour
1/3c unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2tsp. baking soda
1/8tsp. salt
1stick unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4c peanut butter, room temperature
3/4c sugar, plus 1/4c
1/2c packed light brown sugar
1egg, room temperature
1tsp. vanilla
1/4c blackberry jam
preheat oven to 375degrees. grease to baking sheets. sift together the dry ingredients in one bowl. then in an electric mixer beat the butter, peanut butter and sugars together. add the egg and vanilla. mix until blended then pour in the dry ingredients. form the dough balls and roll in sugar. indent with finger and spoon 1tsp. of jam on each cookie. bake for 11-14minutes. cool and enjoy!
this is my first time making them and i loved how they turned out! giada makes some really good recipes. the only change i made was eliminate the 'rolling in sugar' all together (done it before with for the peanut butter blossoms and thought it was unnecessary and messy!). i baked them for exactly 11minutes and they were slightly undercooked, just the way i like mine. made two dozen cookies. next time i would add more jam ... they just tasted so good with the jam!
