Ingredients

3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
6 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup grape jelly

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil.

    Step 2

    Beat together butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and beat until combined. Mix in flour and salt at low speed until a dough forms.
