In celebration of classic peanut butter cookies and to bid farewell to this year's Great British Bake Off, 67 presents Peanut Butter and Jam Kisses.  These lower-guilt treats will please kids and adults alike.  

The recipe is adapted from Paul Rankin, the BBC Good Food website.  The recipe was already low in sugar but 67 shaved off a bit more and replaced some flour with wholemeal to add fibre. 

The changes didn't affect the kisses' scrumptiousness, though - they're buttery, crumbly and the unique peanut butter/jam flavours are appealing.

The Kisses are a welcome one-bowl wonder so they're kid-friendly - not just for eating but also for making.  They'll love the opportunity to make these on a wet weekends stuck inside.  

The Kisses won't break the bank, either.
