If you reminisce about your childhood you can probably pull up a memory or two of you enjoying a peanut butter and jelly sandwich; thankfully these PB&J thumbprint cookies will help you relive those memories in a new format.
There's something so nostalgic about biting into a food item that reminds you of something from your childhood, and these thumbprint cookies do just that. The cookies are made from a peanut butter-infused dough with JIF Creamy Peanut Butter. Before the cookies are baked a spoon is used to create a circular indent that a spoonful of jam can be dolloped into. Once the cookies are baked, you can choose your favorite jam and top the cookies off so that each bite tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
