PB&J cookies back at Doughmonkey

pb&j1.JPGThat frightening close-up to the left (forgive my appalling digital photo skills, they'll improve) is of a coveted Doughmonkey treat back for a guest run this week after repeated pleas to pastry chef Rhonda Ruckman: the PB&J cookie.

Yes, it looks like a muffin. But it has the texture of a cookie - a tall, soft-in-the-center-slightly-crisp-on-the-outside peanut butter cookie filled with a layer of jam. Of course, as with most Ruckman creations, it isn't overly sweet, and it has crunch from halved peanuts scattered through the dough. They're so good. I ate two yesterday before I'd even walked out of the store. (And if you just want plain old peanut butter cookies, she's brought those back by popular demand as well ... for now.)

Today's jam was raspberry. Tomorrow's will be homemade strawberry. And next week, Ruckman will stretch the concept by making cashew cookies filled with homemade cherry jelly. I will fight you for those.
