These Easy Peanut Butter Jelly Cookies are literally to die for. Especially if you are a peanut butter jelly fan + a cookie fan = this is your dream made true. The recipe is super simple and easy to make.
We grew up eating peanut butter jelly sandwiches…school lunch was pretty much the same for a while! Peanut butter jelly sandwich, an apple, juice, and 1-2 cookies.
Luckily for us, we really loved our peanut butter jelly sandwiches. I know it’s a pretty lazy lunch to pack for your kids, but it’s so darn delicious! We never got bored of those lunches.
So, today we are recreating our lunch box for school in the shape of cookies. All that’s missing is the juice and the apple, but who needs those when you have an epic peanut butter cookie stuffed with oozing jelly.
How To Make Peanut Butter Jelly Cookies:
Surprisingly, it’s pretty easy making these peanut butter jelly cookies!
The only thing is that you will need to plan these cookies an hour ahead, as some chilling is required for the jelly and cookie dough.
You will need:
1.Jelly or jam, make sure it’s thick though!
2.Peanut Butter
3.Butter
4.Flour
5.Egg
6.Bicarbonate of soda
7.Sugar – white and brown
8.Salt
Try to shape 1 teaspoon of jelly into a ball, then freeze the jam balls for an hour.
Once you make the cookie dough, you will need to chill it for an hour too.
Using 2 heaped tablespoons from the cookie dough, shape 12 balls, then flatten each in your hand and stuff each flattened ball with a ball of frozen jam. Close off the edges, and make sure it’s a ball-looking cookie.
Place them on your baking sheets and bake for 12-14 minutes at 350F.
A full recipe breakdown and measured ingredients are below.
We like to eat them warm, but you can eat them once cooled too.
Pro tip – if you are looking for a quick dessert – warm each cookie in the microwave for 10-20 seconds and add a scoop of ice cream on top and voila! You got the perfect after-dinner dessert.
