Cooking with Kids is Fun!
And, cooking with my three year old grandson is even better. He loves peanut butter and jelly, so the choice was easy. It is summer in Iowa, and what is better than cookies and ice cream. This recipe is a little messy but very yummy and fun to make. Kids love shapes and using cookie cutters. He was identifying the shapes that he is learning such as rectangles and circles. He also knows bunnies, stars, gingerbread men, and cats.
I prepared half of the refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough before Aiden came over.

| Roll out cookie dough on a lightly floured surface. |
 |
| I cut the first batch into rectangles. |
 |
Place on parchment paper or ungreased cookie sheet.
Ingredients:
- 1- 18 oz. roll refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
- all-purpose flour
- raspberry, grape, or strawberry jelly
- vanilla ice cream
|
Pick out your favorite cookie cutters.
Roll out cookie dough on lightly floured surface.
Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
Place on parchment paper.
Continue rolling dough.
Cut out cookies until all dough is used.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes,
until edges are firm and tops are browned.
Cool cookies.
Place 1 teaspoon jam on flat side of cookie.
Spread evenly on all the cookies.
You can use another flavor of jelly.
Place a small scoop of ice cream on jam.
Taste the ice cream,
(and have Grandma wash the spoon).
Continue adding the ice cream.
You need to quickly do this before the ice cream melts.
Top with another cookie, flat side down, and press lightly.
Repeat with remaining cookies.
It may get a little messy.
Continue.
Freeze for 4 or more hours until ice cream is firm.
In the mean time, wash the cookie cutters.
Place frozen PB&J Ice Cream Sandwiches on a serving plate.
Enjoy!
