Creamy Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

 

Creamy Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies are so rich and delicious. If you love peanut butter, you are going to love these. Once again, the neighborhood kids give these a thumbs up. I had one kid in the kitchen helping spread the filling. She was thrilled to help and lick the spoon! It reminded me of helping out in my grandmother’s kitchen. I always got to lick the beaters, but I had to share with my sister (so not fair, right?). 

This is a great recipe for peanut butter cookies, without the filling. But, trust me, you want the filling. I am craving it right now.

Step 1: Mix the peanut butter, shortening, and sugars.

 

Step 2: Add the eggs, one at a time.

 

Step 3: Add the flour mixture and mix.

 

Step 4: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, and press down with a fork. Make a criss-cross pattern. See below. I use a silicone mat. It works great and clean up is easy. 

 

Step 5: Bake the cookies at 375-degrees for approx. 7 to 9 minutes. 

 

Next, make the filling. It’s easy. Throw the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk into a medium bowl, and mix the ingredients. If your filling comes out a bit thick, just add a tablespoon of milk at a time.  Once you finish the filling, spread it onto the cookies, and enjoy!
