These blue ribbon winning cookies have the peanut butter and jelly mixed right into the cookie dough. They won a blue ribbon at my local 2017 fair. Decorated with flowers made with Skippy P. B. Bites and peanut halves. Perfect with a cold glass of milk!

3In a seperate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into the peanut butter mixture until well blended.

4Using a medium cookie scoop, place cookie dough two inches apart on cookie sheets. Eight cookies per sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheets for 4 minutes before removing to cooling racks to cool completely.

5Meanwhile, prepare the peanut butter drizzle. Combine powdered sugar, creamy peanut butter, vanilla and small amounts of milk or heavy cream until desired consistency is reached. Put peanut butter drizzle in a piping bag, squeeze filling to bag tip, tie bag, snip off tip end and drizzle glaze over each cookie. Place a P.B bite in the center of each cookie and add peanut halves for flower petals on each cookie if desired.
