For The Cookies
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a couple of baking sheets.
-
In a large bowl (I used our Kitchen Aid), combine the sugar and butter. Mix in the egg and vanilla until thoroughly mixed.
-
Mix in the peanut butter until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt until well combined.
-
Roll the dough into tsp sized balls and place on baking sheet. Flatten with a fork.
-
Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
For The Peanut Butter Filling
-
Combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar and butter until thoroughly mixed and smooth.
For The Sandwiches
-
Spread the peanut butter filling (enough to cover the cookie) on one cookie and the jelly on another. Press together to form the cookie sandwich.
This recipe yields approximately 50 sandwiches, or 100 cookies, at tsp sized balls. Double the size for fewer cookies/sandwiches.
