Peanut Butter Jelly Cookies: FAQS Answered!
You may have seen these cookies making the rounds on social media, and for good reason! They are soft, chewy, and full of flavor. The best part is that they are vegan, so everyone can enjoy them! Whether you are vegan or not, these cookies are sure to be a hit. Here are some frequently asked questions about these scrumptious cookies.
What is the best type of peanut butter to use?
For these cookies, we recommend using natural, unsweetened peanut butter. This will provide the best flavor and texture.
Can I use any type of jelly?
I used chia jam in these cookies, but any type of jelly or jam will work. Just be sure to use a fruit-based preserve rather than something like chocolate hazelnut spread.
Can I substitute the cookie dough for an already-made cookie?
No, we do not recommend this as the dough is what provides the structure for the cookie. Without it, your cookie will likely be a little too flat.
