No-Bake Peanut Butter Jam Thumbprints

I love no-bake recipes and lately have been trying more. They are quick, easy and of course require no power from your oven. I have been dreaming of doing these No-Bake Peanut Butter Jam Thumbprints for some time now. Thinking that it would be wonderful with crispy pretzels and crunchy rice krispies. They turned out just like I imagined. Rich and delicious from the peanut butter, fresh from the jam and with the perfect crispy crunch too! Like an adult peanut butter sandwich that kids would also adore!

They are simple to make and require no skill so they are a good cookie for kids to help in the kitchen with too. No fear of getting burnt by a hot oven either. They do have to stay refrigerated and should be served directly out of the fridge or they tend to get soft quickly but it is not like they last when they are pulled out. They are gobbled down right away anyway!!

The little dabble of jam in the center is classic and makes them a true thumbprint! Get out a big glass of cold milk, peanut butter screams for it!!

These will become your next family favorite. Kids will be loving these as an afterschool snack and mom will be happy to whip some up in no time!!

Just roll these in little balls and then place them on a wax paper or parchment lined cookie sheet. Press your thumb or index finger in to create the indentation. You may want to spray a little cooking spray on your finger to keep them from sticking. Then spoon in your favorite jam!! We kept it traditional with strawberry jam!! So classic, so good!!

    Real thumbprints with jam in it sounds amazing. My son loves peanut butter and jelly so making these for him or with him would score me a lot of points

    Love thumbprint cookies! This recipe sounds great since it’s no bake and uses stuff I know I have around the house.
