Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients
- Cookie:
- 1 cup butter Crisco
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- Filling:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups confectioners’ sugar

Directions
In a large bowl, cream the Crisco, peanut butter and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten to 3/8-inch thickness with fork. Bake at 375° for 7-8 minutes or until golden. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For filling, in a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Spread on half of the cookies and top each with another cookie.
