This is a cookie for the peanut butter lover.  It was just a touch too much peanut butter in one bite for me, but I will admit that these cookies are very tasty.  And very full of peanut butter.

I originally saw the recipe for peanut butter sandwich cookies in the new The Taste of Home Cookbook.  I did not use the recipe for the cookies (because it called for butter-flavored shortening, which I don’t have any of because I don’t like shortening), but I did use the recipe for the filling.

The old-fashioned peanut butter cookie recipe comes from A Chow Life, who is a self-confessed peanut butter lover.  I divided the recipe in half and ended up with 16 sandwich cookies.

The filling recipe… I also cut this recipe in half and ended up with enough filling to fill the 16 sandwich cookies, plus two or three tablespoons extra.  I’m posting the full recipe here.

Peanut butter filling for sandwich cookies.
Author: Taste of Home
Ingredients
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 -6 tablespoons milk
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Spread filling on half of the cookies and top with another cookie.
Notes
I’m keeping my sandwich cookies refrigerated because of the milk in the filling.

    Apparentlyjessy, I hope you’ll like them!

    Misskylie, I hope you’ll like them too.

    I ended up taking apart the cookie sandwich for most of them and scraping off the filling so it wouldn’t be too much peanut butter! That’s just me, though. It’s one of the best peanut butter cookie recipes I’ve tried.

    I take it you are using Aust cup measurements for the peanut butter cookie.

      No, I made these when I was living in the US and the recipe comes from Taste of Home, which is in the US as well. So if you make these, do use US measurements. 🙂
