PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until combined, then beat in the peanut butter until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Turn out the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and pat into a rectangle. Top with another piece of parchment and roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Trim the edges of the dough and cut into 1 1/2-inch squares. Arrange 2 inches apart on 2 unlined baking sheets; press each with the back of a fork to make a crisscross pattern, flattening slightly. Gather the scraps and refrigerate until firm, if needed; reroll to cut out more cookies.
• Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are almost set, about 14 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Sandwich the grape jelly (about 1 teaspoon per sandwich) between the cookies.

PBJ SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, sugar and peanut butter; add egg and beat until well blended.
• In a bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to wet, adding a little milk as necessary to make dough just soft enough to handle. Stir in the vanilla. Shape dough into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days (or wrap well and freeze).
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease 1 or 2 baking sheets. Cut slices about 1/8-inch thick from chilled or frozen log. Bake until edges are lightly brown and center set, 6 to 10 minutes. Cool for about 2 minutes on sheets before using a spatula to transfer cookies to a rack to finish cooling. Sandwich flat sides of two cookies together with a heaping teaspoonful of jam; repeat using all cookies.

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• In the bowl of stand mixer, cream together the butter and chunky and smooth peanut butters. Add the brown and granulated sugars and beat for 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
• Put some granulated sugar in a bowl. Scoop 1/4-cup balls of dough into the bowl, roll the dough in the sugar and transfer to the prepared baking sheets, pressing each cookie flat with a fork. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 8 to 11 minutes. Let cool completely before filling with frosting.
• For the raspberry cream cheese frosting: Cream together the cream cheese, butter, jam and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add the powdered sugar and beat until soft and creamy.
• Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of frosting on one side of a cookie and sandwich together with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• MIX peanut butter, brown sugar, butter, honey and egg in large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder; add to the peanut butter mixture and mix well. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap or waxed paper and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
• REMOVE portions from refrigerator and place each portion between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Roll each portion into a "sheet" about 1/8-inch thick (refrigerate dough again if it becomes too soft to handle).
• HEAT oven to 350ºF. Using a drinking glass or cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles. Using a smaller drinking glass or cookie cutter, cut smaller circles or "windows" in the center of half of the circles. Transfer cookies to a nonstick baking sheet, leaving 1/2 inch between them.
• BAKE all cookies 5 to 6 minutes or just until they begin to brown. Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. When cookies have cooled, spread the jelly on the plain cookies and top with the "window" cookies.
