These cookies sound sure to appeal to both adults and kids who love peanut butter & jelly. Cannot wait to bake these as they sound like a perfect take-with breakfast. From the Welch's The Magic of Jelly cookbook.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup grape jam or 1 cup grape jelly
1/4 cup wheat germ, toasted (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 pan.
2. Mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar at high speed until creamy.
4. Beat in peanut butter until blended.
5. Reduce speed to low; blend in flour mixture and oats.
6. Spread 2/3 of the batter in the pan with a spatula.
7. Spread grape jam/jelly carefully over the batter.
8. Sprinkle with wheat germ, if used.
9. Spoon out small dollops of remaining batter and scatter over the jam/jelly.
10. Bake 25 minutes, until golden (the squares will be bubbly and still look soft).
