SUNNY'S HOLIDAY PB AND J THUMBPRINTS
To give her cookies holiday sparkle, Sunny Anderson rolls them in turbinado sugar, a large-grained sugar with a mild molasses flavor. As the cookies cool, the sugar forms a crisp crackly outer layer on the cookie, too.

Steps:
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar, and blend on medium-high speed until creamy. Turn off the mixer and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl, pushing everything back towards the center. Then add the salt, vanilla and egg, and blend until combined. Lower the speed of the mixer and add the flour in 1/2-cup intervals. Between each addition be sure to completely blend in all the flour and scrape the sides as before. Once completely combined, scrape the dough out of the mixer, add to a container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator and, using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll into a ball between your hands. Then roll the formed ball in the turbinado sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat for the rest of the balls, making sure to separate them on the sheet by about 1 inch. Try chopping roasted peanuts and adding them to the sugar before rolling out all the balls or add a drop of food coloring to the sugar to make the cookies even more festive!
- Once all the balls are on the baking sheet, make an indentation in the center of each using the rounded end of a wooden spoon, the back of a rounded teaspoon or your good old-fashioned thumb. Fill the center of each with about 1/2 teaspoon strawberry preserves. Bake until lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let cool before serving.
PB AND J SUNDAE
Steps:
- Transfer ice cream to mixing bowl and add jelly. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the jelly so it is streaky and not uniformly mixed. Return to the pint container and freeze until set, about 2 hours.
- Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread cubes and stir to coat bread on all sides. Continue stirring, until bread is golden brown on all sides. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons sugar and set aside.
- Combine heavy cream and brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, add peanut butter, and stir until combined and melted. To serve, scoop ice cream into serving bowls, drizzle with peanut butter sauce and top with croutons.
PB AND J: CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER SOUFFLE WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- Spread the butter evenly around the bottom and sides of one large, 2-quart souffle dish. Pour 3 tablespoons of sugar into the mold, and rotate until all sides are covered. Refrigerate.
- Dilute the cornstarch in the cold milk. In a heavy-bottomed 2-quart sauce pan, bring the milk, the remaining sugar, and the vanilla to a boil. Beat together the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the beaten eggs. Then add the egg mixture back into the pan with the hot milk. Cook, stirring for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens substantially. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the peanut butter, and place in a bowl to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare the strawberry sauce: bring the cup of water and the sugar to a boil in a sauce pot over high heat. Add the strawberries, and simmer for fifteen minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Puree the entire contents of the pot in the blender. Pour the sauce into a pitcher, and keep warm.
- When the peanut mixture is cool, whip the egg whites, 1/4-cup sugar, and the salt until silky, stiff, and not dry. In a large bowl, using a rubber spatula, mix 1/3 of the whites into the peanut mixture to lighten up. Then fold the remaining egg whites in very gently, turning the bowl in a circular motion, until the batter is uniformly incorporated and light. Immediately pour into the souffle mold, and bake for ten minutes. The souffle should move only slightly when shaken gently. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve at once, with the strawberry sauce on the side.
SUNNY'S PB AND J STUFFED APPLES
Steps:
- For the apples and filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Halve the apples across the equator. Scoop out the core of the apples, leaving a well in the center. Level the bottoms of the apples if needed.
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, yogurt, peanuts and agave. Fill the apple halves evenly and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the filling is set and the apples are slightly tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- For the topping: Add the jelly to a small bowl, then add a few drops of hot water at a time to loosen it, stirring, until you reach a syrup consistency.
- Sprinkle the toast pieces over the top of the apples, drizzle the jelly syrup on top and sprinkle lightly with salt.
