- Mix dry ingredients together in a separate bowl, then stir into peanut butter mixture.

- Using a 1 ¾ inch scoop, scoop dough 2 inches apart on parchment lined cookie sheets.
- If using jelly, make a little indentation in the middle and put about ¼ teaspoon of jelly in the center.

- Note: Chilling the dough helps the cookies bake up a little thicker.
