Ingredients
Cookies
- 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
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- 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 ½ 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.
