Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies - Take 1

I've been craving a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich, but can't seem to find any Gluten-Free Bread that I like so I decided to get my fix with Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies. I made these before I put much extended thought into it and now have what I think might be a better way to make them, that's why this is Take 1. Also, I found this absolutely amazing Versatile Cookie Mix from The Really Great Food Company that I tried because I haven't yet found the magic combo for making perfect cookies. The Cookie Mix worked really well, I'm very happy with it and will definitely be using it again.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

1 box Versatile Cookie Mix (The Really Great Food Company)
1 cup of eggs
1 1/3 cups shortening
3/4 cup brown sugar (tightly packed)
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup your favorite jam/jelly/preserves (I used Strawberry Rhubarb Jam)

Preheat oven to 375. Beat the shortening and brown sugar together. Add eggs and beat again, scraping the sides of the bowl until very well blended. Add entire bag of cookie mix to wet ingredients. Beat 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until smooth. Don't overbeat. Add peanut butter and jelly and blend well. Drop dough by rounded teaspoon onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Because of the jelly, these cookies overcook very easily, so be careful to watch them. Bake 10 minutes.
