It’s peanut butter jelly time! Then again, it’s always peanut butter jelly time at my house. So, I guess it was only a matter of time before two of my fav foods – pb&j sandwiches and cookies – ended up as pb&j sandwich cookies. These cookies are the peanut butter version of the chocolate mint Oreo cookies I shared on Monday. The peanut butter made these guys a little more fragile, so handle with care while they’re warm.
Ingredients
1/2 c. (8 T.) butter, at room temperature
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
1 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 T. vanilla extract
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 T. cornstarch
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
Jelly
Directions
- Line cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until fluffy well-combined, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in eggs one at a times, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Stir in vanilla until incorporated.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir in flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Cover and refrigerate dough at least 3 hours (up to 24 hours).
- Toward the end of the chilling time, preheat oven to 350 F.
- Using a small cookie scoop, drop scoops of dough (1 tablespoons each) onto prepared cookie.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until edges are just beginning to turn light brown.
- Remove, and let cool for 5-10 minutes on the cookie sheet.
- Transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.
- Once cookies have cooled to about room temperature, turn half of them flat side up.
- Top flat side with a little dollop of jelly (about 1 teaspoon, but you can use as much or as little as you like).
- Add other cookie to make a pb&j cookie sandwich.
