Peanut Butter And Jelly Thumb Print Cookies
Is everyone as picky about their peanut butter and jelly as I am? Growing up I was never a fan of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich haha. However, I discovered that it was probably because we usually had cheap bread, random peanut butter, and grape jelly-yuck. After realizing if you use the right ingredients, it can be fantastic. My favorite is Jiff creamy peanut butter, Smucker’s strawberry or raspberry jam and sunbeam or if you are from upstate NY, Strohman’s white bread. Oh my! I love it.
When I came across this recipe for Peanut Butter And Jelly Thumb Print Cookies, it only seemed logical that the same rules would apply. Only the best ingredients could be used.
I have shared a couple of other cookie recipes in the past Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies and Soft Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Both of them were delicious and now these PB&J cookies are just as good. They are great for an after school snack for the kids or to pack in their lunches. With the holidays coming up they will work great for a cookie exchange.

Yum! I love these.
Store-bought are never as good as homemade. They’re always a bit dry.
Can’t wait to try these.
