    Tips and Tricks for Making These Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies: 

    • If you don’t have parchment paper or nonstick cookie sheet, brush your cookie sheet with melted butter to prevent the cookies from sticking.
    • If you have frozen cookie dough, let it stay at room temperature for at least an hour for easier handling of the dough.
    • Don’t forget to sift your dry ingredients. You wouldn’t want flour lumps in your cookies 🙂

    How to Make these Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies:

    These are the ingredients that you will need:

    • butter, softened
    • white sugar
    • brown sugar, packed
    • eggs
    • vanilla extract
    • peanut butter
    • all-purpose flour
    • baking soda
    • salt
    • jelly/jam

    Do you see the “dent” I made on the dough? I did that so that when I slice the dough later, it will look like a slice of loaf bread. After chilling the cookie dough, cut cookie dough into slices,:
