Description
Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies are a fun twist on the classic PB&J sandwich. These soft, chewy peanut butter cookies are sandwiched with a creamy peanut butter filling and a touch of strawberry jam for the perfect sweet and salty bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (for filling)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/3 cup strawberry jam or jelly
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix 2 cups peanut butter, granulated sugar, and eggs until smooth.
- Scoop dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on baking sheet and flatten slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- For the filling: Beat 1/2 cup peanut butter and unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually mix in powdered sugar until smooth.
- Spread peanut butter filling onto the flat side of a cookie, then add a small dollop of strawberry jam or jelly.
- Top with another cookie to make a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Notes
- Make sure cookies are completely cooled before filling, or the frosting will melt.
- You can swap strawberry jam with raspberry or grape for variety.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
