Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

I have a number of recipes for peanut butter cookies and this is a delicious addition to my collection. We really liked the creamy filling sandwiched between the cookies.
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  1. Beat softened butter, peanut butter and sugars till light and fluffy.
  2. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  3. Whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  4. Add flour mixture and mix until well combined.
  5. Drop by tablespoons on parchment lined cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.
  6. Press cookie with a fork dipped in sugar, the dough is soft, I double dipped the fork in sugar.
  7. Bake in a 350ยบ oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven, place on cooling rack and allow to cool completely.

  6. Four years ago I developed a deadly peanut allergy. Truthfully, I think I just ate too many. So my eternal LOSS is not being able to eat these. But I LOVE them.
