Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven 350 - Going to bake these cookies on plain un-greased cookie sheets.
- 2. Cream together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
- 3. Then add vanilla and the egg.
- 4. While using my Kitchen-Aid mixer, I add each remaining dry ingredient while mixing on low while adding each item down the list. Scrape the bowl and blend another minute or so.
- 5. I used a rounded 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon while creating complete half rounds of dough.
- 6. Gently press fork indenting criss-cross while keeping dough 1/4 inch thick.
- 7. I prepare 2 pans before beginning the actual baking cycle. This keeps pace with baking each pan 5-8 minutes.
- 8. Remove from oven once edges are beginning to brown.
- 9. Cool cookies on the baking sheets 3 minutes (the cookies continue to bake on those hot sheets) before removing onto wire rack. They will appear as having lovely light golden brown bottoms. Once all cookies have been properly baked and cooled make your sandwich cookie filling.
- 10. PEANUT BUTTER FILLING: Place all ingredients in mixer bowl.
- 11. Cream until well combined.
- 12. Using between 1 teaspoon - 1/2 tablespoon, create your sandwich cream filled cookies (amount of filling based on your preference). For even larger cookies use 1 rounded tablespoon.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be. Use real butter, not margarine, and use high-quality chocolate chips.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, which will make the cookies light and tender.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges, but still soft in the center.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from becoming too soft.
