There's just something about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's simple, delicious, and comforting. As amazing as the lunchbox staple is, however, these PB&J cookies are even better.

They're almost as easy to make as a sandwich too, and they take only five ingredients. Bonus: This recipe from All Recipes doesn't even contain flour so they're great for those who follow a gluten-free diet as well. I'm not going to tell you it's okay to eat these instead of a sandwich, but if you do, I won't tell.

PB & J Cookies

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons fruit preserves, any flavor
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until well blended.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use a fork to make a criss-cross pattern on the top.

Make a small hole in the top of each cookie using the handle of a wooden spoon. Fill the holes with preserves.

Bake for 8 to 11 minutes in preheated oven. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Okay, so I don't really know what official awards these award-winning cookies from All Recipes have won, but they will win the award of the best cookies you ever make, for sure.

While their beauty is in their simplicity, these are much more than just chocolate chip cookies. They are moist, flavorful, and soft -- pretty much perfect. They separate themselves from the rest of the pack with a surprising secret ingredient -- vanilla pudding. It sounds a bit strange, but trust me, it works!

Award-Winning Chocolate Chip Cookies

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla
pudding mix
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended.

Stir in eggs and vanilla.

Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.
