Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
    In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, vegan butter, granulated sugar and pure vanilla extract.
  • Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Add to the peanut butter mixture. Add the almond milk and mix until combined. 
  • Take 2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. Using the back of a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon, press down to create a dent in the middle of the cookie. Using the 1/2 tsp spoon, scoop in strawberry jam. 
  • Using the 1/2 tsp spoon, scoop in strawberry jam. Repeat until all the cookies are filled.
    Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from heat- the cookies will be very soft. They will firm up as they cool. Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack to throughly cool.
