Peanut Butter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies

I still remember making these with my Mom when I was a little girl.

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 egg
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup grape jelly

Directions
In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In large bowl, with electric mixer, beat butter, sugars and Creamy Peanut Butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla, scraping sides occasionally. Gradually beat in flour mixture until blended. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and freeze at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425°. On ungreased baking sheets, shape by tablespoonfuls into balls and arrange. With thumb or rounded 1/4 tsp. measure, make indentation in center of each cookie; fill each with 1/4 tsp. jelly.
Bake 5 minutes or until bottoms of cookies are lightly golden. On wire rack, cool completely.
