I love this idea! So much it’s part of my 2011 Easter cookies 
This was such a fun recipe to play with and learn from…so I thought I’d share what I’ve been learning from it today!
First batch:
I was happily rolling out the dough and started to lay the lines of PB and preserves. Then it hit me. Oh no, which way were they supposed to go? Oh well, keep going. I realized after I started cutting them that I laid the lines the wrong way!
Result: Ended up being PB or J slices, and misshapen ones at that!
Second batch:
I wised up, reread your post, and refrigerated the roll before I sliced them as well as giving them an extra refrigeration after cutting them. Successful in that there is PB and J in each cookie, and for the most part the shape is contained.
Third batch:
Thought I had it down the second batch. So they are actually in the oven now. I expect them to be like the 2nd batch, but I think the lesson I’ve learned is to not go so crazy with the PB and J and spread it thinner in the roll.
Thanks for such a fun recipe!
