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 Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
