PB&J Cookies

  • PB&J Cookies
    2 cups crunchy natural peanut butter
    1 1/2 cups natural honey
    1 cup vegetable oil
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
    1/2 cup wheat germ
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    4 ounces jelly, any flavor (i use smuckers simply fruit, it has no added sugars)

    Mix together peanut butter, honey, oil, and vanilla until completely incorporated.
    In a separate bowl combine flour, wheat germ and salt. Add to peanut butter mixture, stirring until it makes a stiff dough. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
    When dough is chilled, preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a cookie sheet; set aside.
    Form balls of about 2 tablespoons of dough and place them on cookie sheet. Flatten balls lightly with a fork. With your thumb, make a deep impression in the center of each cookie. Fill impressions with a dab of jelly.
    Place cookie sheet on top rack of oven. Bake 8 to 12 minutes. Be careful not to over bake. Cool cookies before removing from cookie sheet.
    Makes about 36 cookies

  • These... were so... absolutely... amazing!

    I reccomend halving the recipe though because having 36 of these yummy things in the house is NOT a good idea I overbaked them a bit because when I checked after 10 min they were still really squishy.. but they harden when you cool them. Making another (not overbaked) batch soon! Thanks for this nummy recipe
  • isn't the honey a no-no?
  • That's what I was just thinking. Even if you sub agave in this really doesn't look like a beachy recipe.
