Got from P{arents Magazine, April 2011
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter (or use 1/4 cup extra butter if child is allergic)
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup apple jelly
green and yellow food coloring
1/4 cup strawberry jelly
Put parchment paper on cookie sheets
combine flour, baking powder and salt. Beat butter, pb, and brown sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Blend in egg. Beat in vanilla until smooth, scraping down the sides.
Gradually add flour mixture. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until easy to handle
Preheat to 350. Shap dough into 3-inch logs. Place logs 2 inches apart on cookie shets. Flatten to a 1-inch wide rectangle. Use handle of a wooden spoon to make three indentations in dough to look like a traffic light. Bake for 3 - 4 minutes, remove, and re-press indentations. Bake 6 - 8 more minutes, until edges are golden and just firm. Let cool on a wire rack.
Dive apple jelly btwn two bowls; tint one with green food coloring, one with yellow.
Fill top indentation with strawberry jelly and bottom two with colored apple jelly.
For the neatest look, pipe them in using resealable plastic bage. Makes about 3 doze cookies.
