Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 jar J.M. Smucker's Fruit and Honey Jelly Blueberry and Lemon flavor
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

Cream together the brown sugar, peanut butter and butter in a large mixing bowl on medium heat using a stand or handheld mixer. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
