Your favorite sandwich is now a cookie in these PB & J Cookies, made with two peanut butter cookies, peanut buttercream frosting and jelly.
Pin these Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies for later.
Peanut Butter – Jelly!
Peanut Butter – Jelly!
Am I the only one who starts singing this when you think of a peanut butter & jelly sandwich!?! Well, today with these PB & J Cookies you are going to start singing all the time. They are so good!
I started with our basic peanut butter cookie recipe, added some really yummy peanut buttercream frosting to the underside of each cookie, a dollop of our favorite jelly, and smashed them together. And there you have it a simple favorite turned into the best PB & J Cookies. What could get better than that.
Now for the rest of the song:
“First you take the peanuts
And you crunch ’em,
You crunch ’em
First you take the peanuts
And you crunch ’em,
You crunch ’em
For your peanut, peanut butter
And jelly
Peanut, peanut butter
And jelly
Then you take the grapes
And you squish ’em,
You squish ’em
Then you take the grapes
And you squish ’em,
You squish ’em
For your peanut, peanut butter
And jelly
Peanut, peanut butter
And jelly
Then you take the *bread
And you spread it,
You spread it
Then you take the bread
And you spread it,
You spread it
For your peanut, peanut butter
And jelly
Peanut, peanut butter
And jelly
Then you take your *sandwich
And you eat it,
You eat it
Then you take your sandwich
And you eat it,
You eat it
‘Cause its good, peanut butter
And jelly
Good, peanut butter
And jelly”
First you take the peanuts
And you crunch ’em,
Then you take the grapes
And you squish ’em,
Then you take the bread
And you spread it,
Then you take your sandwich
And you eat it
‘Cause its good, peanut butter
And jelly
Good, peanut butter
And jelly!”
*Feel free to substitute cookie for bread and sandwich in the song.
