PEANUT BUTTER JELLY COOKIES

Knowing my kids obsession with anything peanut butter & jelly, I should have expected that these cookies will be a hit in our family. My Hubby and I are huge fans of this combo too. So you can only imagine how fast these sandwich cookies disappeared! These are so far the best peanut butter sandwich cookies I have ever made or tried. And the filling itself is so good, you will want to save some to eat it with a spoon! They are a perfect after-school snack or a sweet surprise for lunch boxes. And if you are an adult, let your inner kid out and enjoy these too! I need to try this idea with our popular Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies, that require only 3 ingredients!

    These would DISAPPEAR if I made them, Anna! Unfortunately, they'd be disappearing into my mouth and reappearing on my waistline but it'd be worth every calorie!
