Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies
PB&J in cookie form? Yes please! My kids and I love peanut butter and jam sandwiches so of course we were excited to try these PB&J Thumbprint Cookies. My four year old saw them and said “Wow! Those look good!” Then she offered to help me finish making them. I gave her a plateful to fill and she thought it was so fun to load them up with different flavors of jam. Not only do these cookies look colorful and scrumptious but they taste completely irresistible! They are just like those delicious peanut butter filled sandwiches laden with a berry jam but these are in sweet cookie form! They have that deliciously crisp exterior you find in your traditional thumbprint cookie and each bite just melts away in your mouth. My personal favorite jam with these is the Smucker’s Low-Sugar Strawberry Jam (not only do I love it’s bold strawberry flavor but I also love it’s vibrant red color. Its the red jam in the cookies but not in the picture of the jams. My jar was about empty because we eat it so often), but any flavor will do. Just use your favorite. Smucker’s Fruit Spreads are my go-to, because I know I can count on their authentic tastes and variety. The great things about these cookies is that they are a cookie both young and old alike will love! Who could resist this jam filled peanut buttery goodness? Not me! They’re the perfect after school treat from the whole family!

Tips for the Best PB&J Cookies
Stick with creamy peanut butter for best results. Be sure to indent upon removing form the oven while cookies are still warm. Let cool before adding jam or it will just soak into cookies.
