Make: 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

If you like peanut butter and jelly, you'll love these super-easy-to-make, healthy, gluten-free and protein-packed cookies. All you need is three ingredients and about 20 minutes. I made this recipe up, and while these cookies aren't going to win anyone a place on Iron Chef, they make for a great after-school snack with a glass of milk. You could even eat them for breakfast. Why not?

Ingredients:
1 cup of peanut butter (you can substitute another nut butter if you prefer)
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
Jam or jelly
1. Preheat oven to 350° and mix the maple syrup into the peanut butter.
2. Use a spoon to drop tablespoon-size dollops onto your baking sheet. Push your finger into the dough to make holes and fill with jam.
3. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving or they'll be too crumbly.

About the Author

Founder & CEO of Mommy Poppins
Anna was born in Park Slope, spent her early years in the West Village. By the time she graduated high school, she had lived in 4 of the 5 boroughs. Growing up in NYC in the '70s meant the streets were her playgrounds. Museums and avant garde music venues were the kid-friendly activities. And living downtown taught her the importance of creating community for families in NYC.
Now, raising her own two children in the city, she tries to create the same sense of magic and community she felt growing up, despite today's more commercialized version of kid-friendly New York.
She started Mommy Poppins in 2007 to share a more artsy, educational, uncommercial, community-oriented vision of raising kids in New York City. Today Mommy Poppins is relied on by millions of families as the authority on the best things to do with kids beyond New York City: from Boston to Philly, Los Angeles, Houston and travel guides for dozens more cities and destinations.
