Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies
August 5, 2008
Remember how much you loved peanut butter and jelly sandwiches when you were little and remember how often you ate them? Why do we stop eating them once we pass a certain age? Well, that's about to change because I am sharing a classic cookie with you that even the most adulty adult will love!

oh my. i'm 2 seconds away from knawing on my computer screen. they look delish. i love anything that comes squirted out of a freezer bag.
oh and i made my hub a pb&j for lunch today! thats what you get when the lunchmeat turns stinky!
oh and im clearly a stalker of this blog. loves it!
These look really good. I would love to make them but i live in Europe, and we dont have Crisco so what could i use instead?
You can always just use butter instead of the Crisco. So your cookies would have 1 c. butter.
I prefer butter...
Surprisingly, they look beautiful! We've had so many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in my life, I'm tired of that combo! If I saw a plate full of these cookies, you bet I'd be trying them!
I make a similar version of this cookie- they are HIGHLY addictive. While red raspberry jelly is my personal favorite I've also used grape and strawberry. All are quite yummy. And instead of adding the jelly after the cookies are baked I just put the jelly in a small bowl and stir it until smooth and add it to the indentation prior to baking. Result- a nice hot PB&J cookie. Big hit with kids and adults alike!
