A very rich, very addicting cookie. Tastes best when cookies are stored in a tight container with several pieces of bread at the bottom. You may need a little extra milk to get the filling to the right consistency.
Ingredients
- 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
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 5 tablespoons milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Shape into 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Flatten balls with a fork.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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".
