I love holiday baking!
When the house smells like sweet treats, the holiday music is playing and I am ignoring the pile of dishes I am in my happy place.
There is just nothing quite like baking treats for friends and family. I love surprising family and friends with wonderful treats they can enjoy during the holidays.
This year I decided to make Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies.
How can you go wrong taking our favorite childhood sandwich and updating it into a sweet treat. Plus you can do so many varieties just by changing out the jelly flavors!
Pre warning these cookies are good! I mean seriously you may need to make 2 batches so you have some good!
To package the Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies I wanted something quick and easy that still looked cute. I used SOLO paper plates in a cute holiday pattern and a red bow.
I just cut a slit at the top of the SOLO plates and attempted to tie a cute bow. Please trust that I am a way better baker than I am a bow tierer 🙂
Did you know that SOLO products are squared? This makes it really easy to pick out genuine SOLO products at the store. Just look for the square.
Have you seen the SOLO It’s My SOLO Cups? They are so cool! You or your guests can write their names across their cups so there is never a question on whose cup you are drinking out of.
SOLO makes so many great products not just the cups we all love. They also make paper, heavy duty and premium strength products!

Oh my goodness, I love this idea. They sound perfect for everyone in my family. Thanks for sharing…
My kids would love those cookies. They are made with such fun ingredients and we love PB and J.
Holiday baking really is the best! What a fun treat and beautiful presentation!
I love peanut butter and jelly, and I love cookies. I’m pretty sure this is the best cookie recipe I’ve ever seen. Thanks!
Those look amazing. The only thing better than a cookie is a PB&J cookie!
I make a similar recipe with potato chip cookies and they’re absolutely delicious. I can never have too many cookie recipes to try!
PB&J’s are one of my favorite sandwiches. I can’t wait to try it in cookie form with your recipe. It looks delish!
Peanut butter and jelly is a great combination and I bet these cookies are delicious. They also sound easy to make which is perfect for someone who is especially busy this time of year. Your use of the SOLO paper plates with the red bow is super cute!
