Peanut Butter And Jelly Cookie Sandwich Food

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until combined, then beat in the peanut butter until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Turn out the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and pat into a rectangle. Top with another piece of parchment and roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Trim the edges of the dough and cut into 1 1/2-inch squares. Arrange 2 inches apart on 2 unlined baking sheets; press each with the back of a fork to make a crisscross pattern, flattening slightly. Gather the scraps and refrigerate until firm, if needed; reroll to cut out more cookies.
• Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are almost set, about 14 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Sandwich the grape jelly (about 1 teaspoon per sandwich) between the cookies.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• MIX peanut butter, brown sugar, butter, honey and egg in large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder; add to the peanut butter mixture and mix well. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap or waxed paper and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
• REMOVE portions from refrigerator and place each portion between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Roll each portion into a "sheet" about 1/8-inch thick (refrigerate dough again if it becomes too soft to handle).
• HEAT oven to 350ºF. Using a drinking glass or cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles. Using a smaller drinking glass or cookie cutter, cut smaller circles or "windows" in the center of half of the circles. Transfer cookies to a nonstick baking sheet, leaving 1/2 inch between them.
• BAKE all cookies 5 to 6 minutes or just until they begin to brown. Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. When cookies have cooled, spread the jelly on the plain cookies and top with the "window" cookies.

PEANUT BUTTER JELLY BACON SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Place bacon on cookie baking sheet and place in oven.
• Depending on your oven, bake for 15-20 minutes or until bacon is EXTRA crispy. The bacon needs to break apart like potato chips -- soft bacon does not go well in this recipe.
• On each side of each piece of white bread, spread peanut butter and jelly. I know I said to use 1 tablespoon each, but the amount is really up to you. Bread and preferences comes in all shapes and sizes, use any amounts at your discretion.
• Place the 3 slices of warm, crispy bacon in between the sandwich.
• Optional: Spray a pan with Pam Oil Spray or lightly butter it. Then toast each side of the sandwich for added flavor and crunch.
• Enjoy in moderation!

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Reserve 1 cup of peanut butter for the cookie dough. Set aside.
• Line a plate with wax or parchment paper. With the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter, scoop out 3/4 teaspoon portions and place them onto the prepared plate. You will need 15 small "dollops" of peanut butter. They don't need to be exact. Place the plate in the freezer while you prepare the cookie dough.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix together 1 cup of peanut butter and the butter until smooth. Add in both types of sugars and mix for 2 minutes on medium speed.
• Add the egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt and mix for 30 seconds, until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in the peanut butter chips.
• Using a large cookie scoop (3 1/2 tablespoons) portion out the dough. Remove the plate with the peanut butter dollops. Make a large well in the cookie dough. Scoop out 3/4 teaspoon of the strawberry preserves and place this into the well of the cookie dough. Top this with one of the frozen peanut butter dollops. Form the dough into a ball carefully around the peanut butter and jelly, doing your best to seal it in. Repeat the process with remaining dough, peanut butter and jelly. If working in batches, place the peanut butter scoops back into the freezer to remain firm.
• Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet 2- inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops start to crack.
• Remove the cookies from the oven and press additional peanut butter chips onto the tops as a garnish, if desired.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIE SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• In the bowl of stand mixer, cream together the butter and chunky and smooth peanut butters. Add the brown and granulated sugars and beat for 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
• Put some granulated sugar in a bowl. Scoop 1/4-cup balls of dough into the bowl, roll the dough in the sugar and transfer to the prepared baking sheets, pressing each cookie flat with a fork. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 8 to 11 minutes. Let cool completely before filling with frosting.
• For the raspberry cream cheese frosting: Cream together the cream cheese, butter, jam and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add the powdered sugar and beat until soft and creamy.
• Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of frosting on one side of a cookie and sandwich together with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F.
• Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachement.
• Add the butter in chunks and mix until a coarse crumble forms.
• Add in the beaten eggs.
• Add half of the mixture to the bottom of a greased 9x13 casserole dish and press down with palms to make even and flat.
• Spread the jelly into an even layer on top of the crust.
• Sprinkle the peanut butter chips over the jelly, followed by the remaining cookie crumble.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Allow to cool fully and cut into bars to serve.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line your baking pan** with parchment paper or non-stick tin foil. Set aside.
• With a standing mixer or a hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter and peanut butter together, until light and fluffy.
• Next, add in the brown sugar and the granulated sugar. Cream the mixture until well combined.
• Next, add in the egg and mix until combined.
• Add in the vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
• Finally, add in the salt, baking soda, and all purpose flour. Mix until all ingredients are combined.
• Press 2/3 of the peanut butter cookie dough into an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Next, spread the jam/jelly over the top of the cookie dough in an even layer (or as even as possible).
• Next, if adding fresh berries, sprinkle them over the top of the jam.
• Take the remaining peanut butter cookie dough and spread it over the top of the jam. Take a little dough at a time, flatten it into your hand, and then place it on top of the jam.
• (It's okay if not all of the jam is covered, but flattening the dough will help to cover more of the jam as well as help the cookies to bake more evenly.)
• Sprinkle the top with peanuts.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the tops of the cookie bars are golden brown and the center is set. If the bars are browning too quickly, tent a piece of non-stick foil over the top of the bars and continue cooking.
• Allow to cool before cutting and serving.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
