Cookie Sheet
Hand mixer
Whisk
spatula
- 1 cup butter flavored shortening
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup milk
- ¼ cup sugar for rolling cookies
Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup butter softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 6 Tablespoons milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream shortening, peanut butter, and sugars together until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add in vanilla, and eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt and add to dough. Mix to combine. Add milk until dough is soft enough to roll into balls without crumbling.
Roll dough into 1/2 inch (or a little larger) balls, roll in sugar, place on ungreased cookie sheet and use a fork to make the design on top.
Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until puffy. You do not want them to be golden brown or overcooked.
Filling
Beat peanut butter, butter, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Add milk until desired consistency is reached. When cookies are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on one side and sandwich together.
