Place butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add eggs and peanut butter; beat until combined, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk together salt, baking powder, and flour. Add to bowl of mixer on low speed; combine. Add vanilla. Transfer two-thirds of mixture to prepared pan; spread evenly with offset spatula. Using offset spatula, spread jam on top of peanut-butter mixture. Dollop remaining third of peanut-butter mixture on top of jam. Sprinkle with peanuts.
• Bake until golden, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool; cut into about thirty-six 1 1/2-by-2-inch pieces.

Remove dough from freezer; using fingertips, break into grape-size pieces and scatter over jelly layer. Sprinkle chopped nuts over.

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.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut a piece of foil 9 by 20-inches. Butter the corners and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line the pan with the foil so that the excess hangs over at each of the short sides of the pan.
• Whisk the flour in a medium bowl with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk in 1/2 cup peanuts.
• Put the melted butter in a large bowl and use a rubber spatula to stir in the sugars. Stir vigorously, mashing the brown sugar lumps with the spatula, so that the mixture is well combined and creamy. Using the rubber spatula, stir in the peanut butter, again making sure the mixture is well combined. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Press the back of a spoon or a curved rubber spatula into the batter to make little wells all over the batter, making sure not to push down to the bottom of the pan. Spoon the jam into the wells, making sure the jam is distributed evenly across the pan. Use a knife to pull the jam through the peanut butter mixture-it won't exactly ribbon, you will end up with some chunks of jam throughout. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chopped peanuts over the top.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a non-jammy spot comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool completely on a rack, about 1 hour.
• When the bar has cooled completely, place a lightweight cutting board or a baking rack over the top of the pan. Flip and set on the counter. Gently pull the pan from the foil and the foil from the pan to remove. Gently peel the foil off the bar. Place another lightweight cutting board on top, and flip the bar right-side-up. For easier slicing, wrap with plastic wrap, and let sit at room temperature overnight. Cut into forty eight 1 1/2-inch squares.
