Peanut Butter Cookies: In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the peanut butter mixture until well incorporated. Take a tablespoon of the cookie dough, roll in extra 1/2 cup of sugar. Place on prepared baking sheet and place cookies two inches apart. Press the dough using the back of a fork dipped in sugar. Bake cookies 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees, careful not to over bake. Cool cookies completely on a wire rack. Peanut Butter Filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat softened cream cheese, peanut butter, vanilla extract, jelly and salt until well combined. Gradually mix in confectioners sugar, adding a tiny extra if needed. To Assemble: Take one peanut butter cookie and spread about 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the flat side of the cookie. Top with a second cookie, flat side down to make a sandwich. If not serving immediately, cover and store in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature when serving.
