PB&J cookies! Why didn't I think of it?!

Dude, and they are GOOD. Tracey brought maybe 30 of those things to a friend's house the other night, and the three of us cleaned them out within minutes.
But Facebook has no "Dislike" button! You can either just "Like" it or leave it alone (or comment on it, but we all know that's just too much work). I think the second stamp should just be blank, so at the very least you have the satisfaction of making the stamping motion, even though nothing will show up.

Okay, it's especially funny to me that I'm such a Facebook-avoider that I didn't even know that.

I also think the things should be self-inking, because who has time for ink pads and stamp cleaner?
1) Should I just not press a very deep hole in the cookies to keep the jelly on top? Or wait until they cool more? Or use more jelly?

2) I WANT THAT FREAKIN' PIG!! I NEED IT!! I'M SURPRISED I HAVE LIVED THIS LONG WITHOUT IT!!
1) aAre you asking me how to make them look more like the ones in the picture and less like the ones I made on Saturday? I kept the dough in balls before, because that's what the recipe said, but then it didn't flatten AT ALL when they baked. I made some more last night that I made sure to form into cookies that looked more like the ones above -- flatter with larger, shallower holes and more jelly -- and they turned out GREAT. Also, the jelly goes in before baking so that it sets up on the cookies.

2) I found and posted the pig while you were sitting across from me! It was so hard not to tell you about it and wait until you read the post! Too bad it costs hundreds of dollars. You need to ask your Dad to sacrifice a piglet from the farm for you so that you can have one of those on the cheap.

I only brought up the first point because you mentioned it at Katie's; I don't want you thinking I thought anything was wrong with the cookies myself. It's crazy that the jelly goes in pre-bake, though; I can't believe it doesn't all absorb into the cookie.

2) It costs four THOUSAND dollars! I sent it to Kamran for a birthday gift idea, but he claims he doesn't plan to spend $4k on me in the course of our entire relationship. I asked him to get me taxidermy classes instead so I can take your advice.
