    Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cookies

    If you thought peanut butter cookies couldn’t get any better you are wrong. These peanut butter and jelly sandwich cookies are AMAZING. They taste just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but in cookie form.

    The cookies are soft, buttery with tons of peanut butter and the perfect amount of sweetness.

    These cookies are a the perfect cross between a peanut butter cookie and a sugar cookie. I roll the individual cookies in sugar before baking. I also sprinkle a little extra sugar after they are out of the oven.

    I slightly under bake the cookies to get the soft, chewy center. Soft on the inside and firm on the edges. Just how I like my cookies.

    How to make Peanut Butter Cookies

    To make these Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies start by creaming butter and both sugars with a paddle attachment. Add in creamy peanut butter, a whole egg and vanilla extract. Mix again then fold in dry ingredients. Done! Portion out cookies and roll in the sugar. Place on a silicone baking sheet or parchment paper and mark cookies with a fork for the crisscross pattern on top.

    This recipe makes about 12-18 cookies depending on how big or small you make the cookies.

    When the cookies are in the oven I whip up a quick peanut butter buttercream. Simply combine peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar and a little heavy cream.

    After the cookies are cool spread some peanut butter buttercream and jelly on each cookie and sandwich them together.

    Serve these with a tall glass of cold milk and enjoy!

    Tips

    • Use your favorite kind of jelly. I’ve used strawberry, grape, raspberry and blueberry preserves.
    • For added crunch use chunky peanut butter or add chopped nuts to the cookie batter.
    • I like to slightly under bake my cookies. This keeps them chewier and not too crisp. The cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet as they cool.
