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!
