Monday is Family Home Evening Night






If you are like me, you are always looking for a good recipe to end your family home evening with. At my house Monday night is always family night and here’s a great cookie recipe that my family loves.






Enjoy!


Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

1 C butter flavored Crisco

1 C Creamy peanut butter

1 C sugar

1 C packed brown sugar

1 t vanilla

3 eggs

2 t baking soda

½ t salt

Additional white sugar for rolling

Filling

1 C creamy peanut butter

½ C real butter, softened

4 C powdered sugar

2 t vanilla

3-4 Tbs milk

Cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Cream shortening, peanut butter, and sugars together until light and fluffy 1-2 minutes. Add: vanilla and eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt and add to dough. Mix to combine. The dough will be very soft- that’s normal!

Roll dough into ½ inch (or a little larger) balls, roll in sugar, place on ungreased cookie sheet and do the little forky criss-cross thing.

Bake for 6-8 minutes or until puffed and set, but not browned. Remove from oven, let cool on baking sheet for 2

-3 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack.

Filling: Beat peanut butter, butter, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth, if needed add milk until desired consistency is reached. When cookies are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on one side and sandwich together. Yield: about 4 dozen sandwiches.


And don't forget, You can change this recipe to suit your taste. Just add chocolate chips to the batter or ice cream as a filler ...the possibilities are endless! yum!
