We all can relate to eating peanut butter and jelly sandwishes as kids. It brings us back to our childhood memories, even us Italian kids ate them.
So when I decided to make a batch of peanut butter cookies, this idea to make them sandwich cookies came to mind.

Easy Directions to Make Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cookies…
Step 1: Mix all the ingredients into one mixing bowl.
Next Step: Using your hands, to make small balls out of the cookie dough. Place them onto a baking sheet.
Step 3: Use a small fork to lightly press down on to each ball.
Now Bake: Bake cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (180C) for about 8 minutes, until golden).
Final Step: Once cookies have cooled down, spread a little grape jelly on the bottom of a cookie and close it with the bottom of a second cookie to sandwich.

- Also, they freeze well too. You can store them in zip-lock bags or in a plastic container. They will freeze well for up to 2 months.
This idea came to me when I saw sandwich cookies in a magazine and thought to myself, I can make these cookies for my family but in a different version and with different flavors.
So instead I decided to use my 4-ingredient peanut butter cookie recipe which I have been making for years.
Only this time, I made them into bite-size cookies. Rolling the cookie dough into smaller balls, then pressing down slightly on top of each one with a small fork.
This gave these cookies a smaller appearance, similar to the size of a quarter, and it even doubled the number of cookies in one batch.
So, turning them into sandwich cookies was a no-brainer! 😉
And, I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.
I mean, come on, these were so easy …and so darn cute!
