Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 whole Shortbread Cookies; 1/2 cups Jelly (your Favorite Flavor); 1 Tablespoon Water; 2 ounces, weight Cream Cheese; 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar; 1/2 cups Peanut Butter; 1/4 cups Milk; 1 pinch Large Pinch Of Salt; 2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter Chips; 2 Tablespoons Salted Peanuts, Chopped (optional)

1
Place the cookies in a plastic bag and crumble them with your hands or by using a rolling pin or even a can of beans. The cookies can have a few chunks left.
2
In a small bowl, combine the jelly with the water and warm very slightly in the microwave (just for a few seconds until the jelly is softened).
3
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar then add the peanut butter and milk and whisk until completely smooth and combined. Mix in a pinch of salt and taste to see if you'd like to add more. Remember that the cookies and jelly are very sweet so the peanut butter mixture should have a good bit of savory saltiness to it.
4
Layer the bottoms of two 8 ounce jars with 1/4 of the cookie mixture in each jar. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the jelly into each jar and top with a quarter of the peanut butter chips in each. Add about a quarter of the peanut butter mixture into each jar, top with the remaining cookies, jelly, chips and peanut butter. Sprinkle on the salted peanuts, if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
