Friends,
I have had a revelation. And it is in the form of a cookie.
Okay but here’s the back story: a very dear friend recently gave me a new cookbook called, “Milk & Cookies”. It’s all cookies, all the time! Love that!! And one of the recipes is for peanut butter & jam cookies. Basically you make the peanut butter cookie and stick 2 of them together with jam. Sounds simple enough, right? Right! And everso tasty… Problem was, I didn’t love the cookie recipe. There was too much other stuff in it. Keep it simple, is my motto when it comes to peanut butter cookies… And so, I used my favourite recipe and sandwiched 2 together with grape jelly.
Mother. Of. GOD.
So good! And I’m sure it was the breakfast of champions too! :) ’k, so here’s what I did:
Ingredients
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups peanut butter
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
Your favourite jam or jelly — I used grape jelly
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 and line cookie sheets with parchment paper
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined. Using a teaspoon, scoop out a small amount of dough and roll into a ball. Place on cookie sheet and press down with a fork.
- Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.
- Allow to cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes before removing to cooling racks.
- Once completely cooled, spoon a small amount of jam or jelly onto one cookie, and place another cookie on top. Squeeze together and enjoy!
