Who doesn’t like a PBJ sandwich???
This cookie is the sandwich without the bread! The cookie base is just a peanut bomb topped with a sweet sticky blob of cherry jam. It is crumbly and gooey and a PBJ in one bite
I must admit that mine is definitely not as pretty as the Cookie Bible photo. The book photo has this luscious clear jelly with a cherry hiding at the center. Well, mine just don’t quite get to that level of beauty. I couldn’t get the jammyness out of the jam…it ended up looking like, uhhh, jam.
I think that next time I would reduce down jelly and add a dried cherry to get the loveliness of RLB (Rose Levy Beranbaum for short.)
Note to self. Next time may have to wait a bit as I have a few more recipes still to bake.
