Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add the egg and peanut butter and mix until fully combined.
Add the flour and baking powder, mixing just until no dry streaks remain and a soft cookie dough forms.
Spread the strawberry jelly evenly over the bottom of a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter cookie dough over the jelly, covering most of the surface.
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the cookie topping is lightly golden and cooked through.
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Our baking dish is oval shaped but it is equivalent to an 8x8 inch pan.
Serve warm: For best experience, and with a little ice cream.
Use room temperature butter: Makes creaming easier and creates a smoother dough
Cream sugars thoroughly: Helps create a light, tender cookie topping
Don’t overmix after adding flour: Keeps the topping soft instead of dense
Fully cover the jelly layer: Prevents bubbling over and burning edges
Spread jelly evenly: Ensures consistent sweetness in every bite
Bake until golden, not dark: Keeps the topping soft and chewy
Let rest before serving: Allows the filling to set slightly for better texture
Use the right pan size: Ensures even baking and proper thickness
Add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter: Balances the sweetness perfectly
