There are some things that are just meant to be together: cheese & bread, chocolate & peanut butter, mashed potatoes & gravy, grilled cheese & tomato soup, raspberries & chocolate, oreos & milk….peanut butter & jelly. Now add cookies.
I love these cookies. It’s a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in dessert form. Peanut butter cookies are already one of my favorite cookies and the addition of jelly steps it up to a whole new level. There’s nothing more to say, they’re delicious!
