Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam Sandwich Cookies
No, you’re not too old for milk and cookies. This timeless treat is easy to whip up. If you don’t have time to make cookies from scratch, grab a pack of your fave biscuits – we love a good shortbread, even some ginger snaps would do – give a good schmear of peanut butter (chunky, smooth or crunchy, have your pick) and match it with some strawberry jam. Getting the perfect ratio is the difference between choking on dry peanut butter or drowning in jam. We recommend washing it down with this coffee milkshake.
