PB & J Thumbprint Cookies with NaturallySweet California Raisins

{Disclosure: The following post is a part of a paid promotion between The Healthy Aperture Blogger Network and California Raisins. I did receive California Raisins for recipe development.  Opinions expressed are my own.}

It’s a beautiful thing when the PB&J sandwich goes all cookie on us.

I really think cookies are the real identity for the PB&J combo.  Sandwich-Smamwich.  It just took PB&J a while to find itself.  But now it has and it’s never looked better.  You can’t look bad as a cookie.  You just can’t.

I think everyone goes through a phase after elementary/middle/high school where they are completely burnt out on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  One too many soggy school lunch sandwiches.  I gave myself a palate cleanse from the nutty & sweet sandwiches for about 8 years after high school.  Now I’m like bring me all the gourmet-style peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  I want fancy, whole grain bread with fancy, no sugar added nut butter and fancy, cherry jelly. 

And I don’t want a little tiny scoop of nut butter on the sandwich either…there needs to be a healthy slather.  And that is the ultimate key to creating a PB&J sandwich that completely crushes it.
