Peanut Butter & Jelly Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches

I didn't think it was possible to improve upon a peanut butter and jelly sandwich until I decided to use cookies instead of bread. Seriously delicious! Peanut butter and jelly is one of my favourite combinations... actually I really just love anything with peanut butter! I decided to fill these cookie sandwiches with peanut butter buttercream rather then just straight peanut butter. The buttercream is full of peanut butter flavour while being light and fluffy. These oatmeal cookies are delicious on their own. They have a great texture, soft and chewy! They remind me of an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie without the chocolate chips - but trust me you won't miss the chocolate chips once you fill these cookies with peanut butter buttercream and your favourite jam. I choose to use store bought strawberry jam, but if you have a favourite homemade jam by all means this is the perfect time to use it! I hope you enjoy these ooey gooey peanut butter and jelly oatmeal cookie sandwiches as much as I do.

Peanut butter is one of those things that you either love or hate. Personally, I love it! I may or may not eat it by the spoonful. I remember the first time I made peanut butter cookies using the recipe off the back of the jar. It made SO MANY cookies - or that's what it felt like. Those cookies were amazing right from the oven but once they cooled they were no longer soft and chewy. I wanted  to create a soft and chewy peanut butter cookie that stayed that way once they cooled.  Using a mix of cake flour and all purpose flour the cookie develops a soft and chewy almost like cake like texture. These peanut butter cookies make the perfect snack paired with a large glass of cold milk.
