Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

Welcome to the forty-second post in my year-long Cookie Series, where I want to bring you a new and delicious cookie recipe every Tuesday of 2015!

There's only 10 posts left in the Cookie Series? 

Wow, I've eaten a lot of cookies. 

And for those of you who have been looking at my cookie  posts for awhile, you've seen a lot of cookies. Thanks for sticking around and reading my posts week after week. You're awesome! 

I've eaten enough cookies this year that I could be understandably sick-and-tired of cookies. 

But I'm not. I don't know if it's normal, but even after eating more than 42 types of cookies this year, I still like 'em. 

Here's the 42nd post in the Cookie Series:
