P’nut Butter and Jelly Cookies…

P’nut Butter and Jelly Cookies…

I absolutely LOVE peanut butter cookies...and I LOVE the 3-ingredient peanut butter cookie recipe for these cookies.  And what could make these even better????   Blackberry Jelly!!!   My friend Gina gave me some jelly she made with blackberries she grew.  The weird thing is...I HATE blackberries.  Not the taste, but the seeds- the good thing about the jelly is that it doesn't have seeds.
