I adapted this from an idea, a bit of online searching, combining two recipes, resulting in , well this

INGREDIENTS

1 jar Red Pepper Jelly
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup softened / unsalted Butter (softened)
1 large Egg

1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 ½ tsp Black Pepper (fine ground)



DIRECTIONS

Pre heat to 350 degrees
Mix Flour and Baking Soda and Black Pepper
Cream together Butter, Sugar, egg, Vanilla
Stir in flour mixture to butter mixture 1/3 of flour at a time. Dough will be dry, I finished combining flour using my hands.

Shape dough into a ball, cover in plastic wrap and cool in refrigerator for 30 minutes.


Two ways of doing this (1) roll dough into 1 inch balls. Flatten using the bottom of a glass ( dip glass in ¼ cup additional sugar to keep glass from sticking. Then using your thumb make a dent in the cookie and fill dent with about a half teaspoon of the Red Pepper Jelly. OR (2) roll out cookie dough to about ¼ inch , Cut your cookies with round cookie cutter. Use your thumb to dent center of the cookie. Fill dent with about a half teaspoon Red Pepper Jelly.

Bake 11 to 15 minutes , until lightly browned on the edges. Cool on wire rack

I promise the taste will pleasantly surprise you.
