Peanut Butter Mascarpone Jelly Sandwich Cookies
Peanut Butter Mascarpone Jelly Sandwich Cookies
Have you ever created a recipe around one minor, but important ingredient? Thought so! I whipped up these peanut butter mascarpone jelly sandwich cookies over my love affair with mascarpone cheese.
I had bought some mascarpone cheese for a delicious rigatoni pasta dish I made for dinner the other week. (Please make this pasta dish too. If you like mushrooms, you will love it!)
As I never like to have a food supply go to waste, I pondered that 4 oz. of mascarpone cheese sitting on the top shelf of the fridge. For those of you might not have tried mascarpone cheese, it's an Italian cheese with a deliciously rich cream cheese consistency and a bit of a sour cream taste.
Recipe Inspiration
Back to the story, I had just made my favorite homemade nutter butters and was still enjoying that recipe kick. I thought about how much my family and sweet neighbors loved those nutter butters and voila! Why not combine a peanut butter cookie with a mascarpone jelly filling? Seriously, why not?!
Easy to Make, Easy to Love
The beauty of this cookie recipe is that you'll get a ton of mileage from just a short 20 minutes or so of work.
My classic peanut butter cookie recipe is so easy and fast. I use a smaller batch in this recipe because I find that unlike chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies, peanut butter cookies are best enjoyed in the first couple or few days of making them.
Do you agree that peanut butter cookies have a shorter shelf life? Tell me how you store yours to keep them fresh. I'd love your tips in comments below. Thanks!
Once your cookie dough is made, it's a quick mix of mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup of your favorite jelly and 3/4 cup of powdered sugar.
Even with what sounds like a conservative amount of filling, I had extra left over and let me tell you, was I ever delighted!
Smear a spoonful of your remaining mascarpone jelly filling on a toasted english muffin and let me know how much you enjoyed THAT!!
