Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprints

December 13, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Hi Everyone,

This past Sunday was such a peanut butter day for me!  I started my day off with peanut butter and jelly toast for breakfast.  Then for a snack I had greek yogurt with peanut butter and Jelly and then I decided to bake cookies and of course what else are they filled with?  Peanut butter and jelly!!  I swear I’d be sick of it, but I’m not!!!

These cookies couldn’t scream peanut butter and jelly anymore.  It is a perfect replica of a PB and J and I love it!  These are your traditional thumbprint cookies, and instead of baking jam in the center, I made the cookies naked!  Once the cookies cooled I filled my thumbprints with some creamy natural peanut butter and topped it with my Stonewall Kitchen Sugar Plum Jam.  Now of course you can use any jam you like.  I think strawberry and raspberry would be perfect!!


For the nuts I used Honey Roasted Peanuts.  Oh man, are they good!!  I am loving these cookies.  I can assure you that I will be making them throughout the year, not just at Christmas time!!  To make them healthier I used whole wheat pastry flour and NuNaturals Tagatose.  The only thing not healthy in the recipe is I used a stick of butter, but sometimes you just need butter!!

Normally I don’t care to make these kind of cookies because they are so time consuming.  You know rolling them in a ball, dipping in egg white, then rolling in nuts, bake then fill.  But this recipe only makes 24 cookies, so besides cooling time the whole process took about 30 minutes.  Not to shabby!!  Here is my favorite cookie, because he is ozzing with peanut butter!

The cookie was just calling me, so I did what anyone else would do and eat it!!

I know I wrote a post last week swearing off cookies, yah that lasted about 12 hours!!  I have no control and I really do enjoy baking cookies!  I think they are one of my favorite things to make!!  There easy, fun and everyone loves them!!!  The only issue is trying not to eat them all.  Maybe I should start making things I wouldn’t eat?  Nah, what fun would that be?  Everything you see me post, I eat, unless I stated otherwise, but I eat 99.9% of everything!!  They key is moderation and lots of exercise!

A butter base cookie rolled in honey roasted peanuts and topped with creamy peanut butter and jam. A perfect replica of a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.
Serves: 24 Cookies
Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar ( I used NuNaturals Tagatose)
  • 1 large egg, separated
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup honey roasted peanuts, chopped small
  • ¼ jam, your favorite kind, I used Sugar Plum
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
  3. In a medium bowl add flour and salt, mix until combined; set a side.
  4. In a large bowl beat butter and sugar. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture, and beat until combined.
  5. In a small bowl, add egg whites and mix until frothy. On a plate add chopped nuts.
  6. Roll dough into 1" balls. Roll into egg mixture then into nuts. Place on baking sheet and make a thumb print into the middle ( I used the back of a teaspoon)
  7. Bake in oven for 8 - 10 minutes or until nuts are lightly brown.
  8. Place on cookie rack to cool. Once cool, evenly divide the peanut butter into the thumbprint, then top with jam.

Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 days until Christmas? I’m not ready yet!! But I did get my Christmas tablescape ready! 
🎄
I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year. 
🎄
I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening.

Do you have a food dish that you like to make during the holidays?

I ran and grabbed my dough bowl and filled it with Claire Burke Christmas Memories Potpourri that filled the room with the scent of cinnamon, cloves and Christmas trees. It’s perfect! The potpourri has gold and red accents in it. There are large and baby pinecones with white snow on them, and pinecones dipped in gold. This is the perfect potpourri for the season.

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.

The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
