Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup jelly
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Add butter, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla to mixer and beat well until fluffy and well combined.
  • Beat in flour.
  • Press dough into prepared baking dish.
  • Warm jelly in microwave for 15 seconds to make it more easily spreadable. Drop spoonfuls of jelly across the dough and use a knife to press the jelly into the dough and swirl it around.
