Yummy cookies. Really tasted like PB&J! I didn't ball the dough up because it was a bit too soft so I just dropped by the spoonful and they came out fine. I didn't have a problem making the indentation either. This is a great cookie that kids will love and is easy to make.

Overall, fairly easy to make a large batch of these cookies. Only took about 30 mins. But instead of making an indentation in the cookies right when pulled out of the oven, it would be much easier to make it before putting it in the oven. I used a 1/8 tsp to make the indentation in my unbaked cookies and then popped them in the oven for 7 mins and allowed them to cool and then filled them in with homemade jam. I tried making the first batch by making an indentation after the cookies come out of the oven, but after the 8 mins as suggested by the instructions, the cookies were already done and not soft enough to make an indentation... instead, I ended up flattening the cookies and not really putting a little indent in it.
