Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store these CRUMBL peanut butter and jelly cookies?

You can store these cookies with the frosting in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Make sure to let them get back down to room temperature before enjoying them so the peanut butter frosting is not sold.

Stack of CRUMBL peanut butter and jelly cookies

Can you freeze these cookies?

You sure can! I would recommend that you freeze the cookies without the frosting in an airtight container. You can also freeze the peanut buttercream in an airtight container as well.

Once you’re ready to enjoy your cookies, leave both the cookies and the frosting in the fridge overnight to thaw. Then whip up the frosting one more time to get it light and fluffy, frost and enjoy.

Raspberry jam and peanut butter cookie broken in half

Can I use a different jam for these?

Yes! You can use whatever jam you usually like in your PB and J but to stay true to this CRUMBL copycat cookie recipe I decided to use raspberry jam so It’s the same as the OG recipe.

Some other jam flavors you might love would be:

  • Strawberry jam
  • Grape jelly
  • Apricot or peach jam
  • black berry jam
