I am a lucky woman! Hubby likes cooking and baking! Over the weekend I snapped a few pictures of him making these amazing peanut butter cookies. *Warning: Not good on the diet! These are not made often, or I probably would not make it through the door of our house.

What You Need:

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to make Peanut Butter Cookie-Sandwich

Preheat oven to 350. Mix peanut butter, shortening, sugars and milk together until fluffy. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Roll into small balls and drop about 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. They will spread out. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Filling Recipe:

Combine in a small bowl adding enough milk to make for a creamy, frosting-like texture.


Spread frosting on one cookie and top off to make “sandwich”. Enjoy!!

I can imagine that if you are a fan of Nutella, that you could use it as a filling instead of the peanut butter for the frosting… I haven’t done it!
