Use your favorite peanut butter here, but if you are using all-natural peanut butter with no added salt, stir ½ teaspoon salt into the dough as well.

The jelly center doesn't overwhelm the peanut butter cookie, which is nice.

It actually balances out the flavor of the peanut butter cookie really well- just like a PB & J sandwich.
