Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

March 5, 2008 By Steph 6 Comments

There are 2 things that do NOT go together. Dieting and Baking.  I have really tried to set a personal goal this year to eat better, exercise and become an all around healthier person. I’ve been really good at the exercising part, but the eating better is such a struggle for me.  Mostly because I LOVE to bake.  If I would have figured this out earlier in my youth, I definitely would have gone to cooking school.  But unfortunately, I really didn’t discover my passion for baking until a few years ago.  Already having a husband and one child, cooking school really didn’t fit into my life anymore.  So, I’ve just been teaching myself.  But, loving to bake comes at a price. No, I don’t have to eat everything I bake, but of course I have to try it!  It wouldn’t be any fun without the taste testing!  Anyways, I’ve been trying to do everything in moderation, and hopefully since I am exercising everyday, it will all work out in the end. I also have a new obsession with cookbooks, and I recently bought The Taste of Home Cookbook particular book, and as I was flipping through it,  I found this yummy recipe for Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies.  Since I LOVE peanut butter I decided to try these first.  They are absolutely delicious!!!  Try them today!!

Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Filling:
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
5 -6 Tbl milk
1) In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, peanut butter and sugars.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add vanilla.  Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2) Shape into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.  Flatten with a fork.  Bake at 375 degrees for 7-8 minutes, or until golden.  Remove to wire racks to cool
3) For filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency.  Spread on half of the cookies and top each with another cookie.

    You won’t believe this! I just posted a recipe for the same cookies taken from the same magazine and I photographed them the same way you did..stacked on top of each other. And all before I discovered your site. (I was checking if I was ranking for my keywords and your post came up in the search). I suppose great minds think alike!! hahaha.

Speak Your Mind
