Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients
- Servings: 5
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup butter flavored shortening
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons milk
Recipe
- preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
- in a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, 1 cup creamy peanut butter and white and brown sugars. add vanilla and then eggs, one at a time. beat well after each addition. in a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. add slowly to creamy mixture.
- shape into 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. flatten balls with a fork.
- bake for 7-8 minutes depending on size (i tend to keep a close eye on them and remove them as soon as they start to get golden. this helps to make them chewy.) cool on wire racks.
- to make the filling: combine 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl adding enough milk to make for a creamy, frosting like texture. spread frosting on one cookie and top off to make "sandwich".
