PBJ Sandwich Cookies image

Cookies made with peanut butter seem to keep getting better, especially as we learn to appreciate salty desserts. The peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich cookie recipe here was inspired by a nearly savory PBJ dessert at Momofuku Ssam Bar a couple of years ago.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 40m

Yield 15 to 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, more for greasing baking sheets
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter, chunky or smooth
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour, more for work surface
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fruit jam or jelly

Steps:

  • Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, sugar and peanut butter; add egg and beat until well blended.
  • In a bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to wet, adding a little milk as necessary to make dough just soft enough to handle. Stir in the vanilla. Shape dough into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days (or wrap well and freeze).
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease 1 or 2 baking sheets. Cut slices about 1/8-inch thick from chilled or frozen log. Bake until edges are lightly brown and center set, 6 to 10 minutes. Cool for about 2 minutes on sheets before using a spatula to transfer cookies to a rack to finish cooling. Sandwich flat sides of two cookies together with a heaping teaspoonful of jam; repeat using all cookies.

Tips:

  • Use natural peanut butter: Opt for unsweetened, natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for the healthiest choice.
  • Choose sugar-free jelly: Look for sugar-free or low-sugar jelly to reduce added sugars in the cookies.
  • Use whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour provides more fiber and nutrients compared to refined white flour.
  • Sweeten with stevia or monk fruit: For a sugar-free option, use natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit to add a touch of sweetness to the cookies.
  • Keep an eye on baking time: Watch the cookies closely during baking to prevent overcooking. They should be just set and slightly golden around the edges.
