These Peanut Butter and Jelly Stuffed Cookies are a fun twist on the classic PB&J sandwich, combining a rich peanut butter cookie dough with a sweet jelly filling.
02 -
Make sure the edges are well sealed to prevent the jelly from leaking during baking.
03 -
Any flavor of jelly or jam works well in this recipe - try raspberry, blackberry, or apricot for variety.
