Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies

Do you love PB&J? It’s a childhood classic that I still love to this day. Something about pairing that creamy, salty, wonderful peanut butter with a sticky, sweet jam just makes me smile. Oh boy is that delicious. So of course this month for Peanut Butter Bash our secret ingredient is JELLY! Yep- the classic is ON today! So I had about a zillion recipes run through my head including the one my mom used to make for me when I was little- an over the top PB&J sandwich. But then my son asked me to make PB&J cookies instead & I thought that was a fabulous idea!

I originally thought I would make them sandwich cookie style – but when it came right down to it, just a dollop of preserves right on top was all these needed. I made a batch of my blackberry jam using the same recipe from my mixed berry jam. It’s definitely the favorite in this house. Even better- crumble these cookies on top of ice cream & heat a little jam into a syrup & drizzle it on. Oh man- I know what I’m having for dessert tonight. YUM!
