Chocolate Sea Salt Peanut Butter Thumbprint Cookies

Step 1

In a bowl mix together flour, baking soda, and salt

Step 2

Mix together peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup Chocolate sea-salt caramel rub. Once fully mixed add in vanilla extract and an egg - mix all together.

Step 3

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together to create the dough. Dough should be slightly sticky, but should not stick to your hand. Wrap up in plastic wrap and place in fridge for 30 minutes to an hour. (IF mix seems too dry add a tablespoon at a time of milk until you get the right consistency)

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 350

Step 5

Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mash your thumb into the middle to make a bowl shape for the jelly. Keep cookies 2 inches apart.(you may see a bit of a crack on the edges of the cookie this is not a big deal. If the dough crumbles then you need to add a bit of milk)

Step 6

Drop apple jelly (or your favorite jelly) into the thumbprint. Do not over fill it too much. The jelly will drop and fill the thumb shape as it cooks.

Step 7

Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes. When finished the edges should be nice and lightly toasted.Remove and leave to fully cool before adding icing.

Step 8

Once the cookies are cooled decorate the cookies with the icing however you like. We like to just do zig zags.

Step 9

In a bowl add 1 cup confectioners sugar, 2 tablespoons Chocolate Sea-salt Caramel Rub, and 1 tablespoon milk - mix.

Step 10

Using a spatula move the mixture to a piping bag or large ziploc bag. If using a ziploc cut the tip of the corner to be able to squeeze the icing out.
