Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies

There are fewer things I love more than peanut butter.  But add jelly and I am in cookie heaven!  Certified PB&J fanatic.  If I ever got a tattoo…it would say PB&J.  (no it wouldn’t. It would say Chardonnay.  Just messing with ya :).

There are many things I love about my soon to be son-in-law.  He is kind, gentle and loves my daughter…that’s a pretty good start.    But you know what really gets me?  His Grandma’s jam! She makes Mason jars full of homemade jam and shares generously.   Peach, strawberry, mixed berry, raspberry and the list goes on and on.  I used raspberry for these little beauties but wouldn’t peach be divine?

I am still recovering from my Peanut Butter Crinkle  obsession ‘issues’.  I made a batch every weekend for about six weeks.  My jeans are getting tight and I’ve got wedding pictures coming up. It is time to get a grip on the cookie thing…argh!

But I had all this jam staring at me and a big jar of peanut butter left over from my PB crinkle binge days,  so whats a girl to do?  Does the jam count as a fruit serving? These are tiny little suckers…wouldn’t three be one serving?  The cookie battle rages on and I am losing!

NOTE :  I highly recommend buying the raw sugar granules to roll the cookies in before baking opposed to regular granulated sugar.  It gives the cookie this great crackle crunchy thing.

If peanut butter isn’t your thing (not sure we can be friends…but I’m willing to love you through it).  Try Brownie Cookies or how about cake?   This is my favorite!  Chocolate Cherry Sheet Pan Cake!
