I don’t eat many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches these days. But on the rare occasion that I make myself one, I’m in heaven. There are few combinations as good as sweet jelly and salty peanut butter! Which is why I’m so excited to share this recipe for Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cookies!
I have a recipe for peanut butter cookies passed down from my great grandmother that I make every Christmas. So when I had a recent craving for PBJ, I figured a cookie version of it would be a fantastic adaptation! The cookie recipe below is based off of my great grandmother’s original recipe but is adapted slightly (I’m pretty sure peanut butter chips didn’t exist when she made this recipe!) And if you’re looking for other yummy cookie recipes, you can find plenty here!
