PB&J
Certain things just go together like bread and butter, milk and cookies, and of course….peanut butter and jelly. If you really like that very last combination, you should try celebrating National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day on April 2!
According to a Smuckers timeline, PB & J sandwiches go all the way back to 3000 BC. That was when the Egyptians baked the first leavened bread. In 1500 BC, peanuts were first discovered. Thousands of years later, in 1762, there is record of the very first sandwich. In 1890, peanut butter was invented. Of course, the greatest invention was sliced bread! About seven decades ago, jams, jellies, and preserves became popular. Finally, in the 1940’s, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich was invented.
Most people know of the famous peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Usually that is the big thing in my lunch box! Today I will be teaching you a peanut butter and jelly recipe, but with a brand new twist.
Ingredients:
1 18-ounce roll refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
6 tablespoon preserves, such as raspberry, cherry or strawberry
1 pint of vanilla bean ice cream
Directions…
- Prepare cookies according to instructions.
- Place 1 teaspoon of jam or preserves on each flat side of 1 cookie.
Repeat with remaining cookies, jam, and ice cream. This is a fun and simple recipe. I hope you enjoy this wonderful little snack!

Hello,
ohh…those look so good..although I don’t care for peanut butter I enjoy just jam or jelly on my sandwiches and treats… We do make snacks for our sewing classes so I might just have to do some of those.
The pictures were really cute also.

WOW! That looks good. I should try that. Great article, Lady Olivia.
I don’t care for peanut butter either, but those look good. I think perhaps instead of ice cream, whipped topping might be good too! and instead of the jam, maybe strawberries? LOL Ah, what fun we’d have thinking up ideas.
Great article!!
Oh ya baby! I love Peanut butter cookies! This is the greatest PB&J recipe I have ever seen! Ya know cream cheese would be good too. yum!
