How To Make delicious peanut butter filled pb cookies
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray or greasing lightly.
-
Step 2In a medium sized bowl combine the brown sugar, white sugar, peanut butter, shortening, salt, baking soda, and vanilla; beat until smooth.
-
Step 3Add the egg and beat until mixed in. Stir in the oatmeal and flour until mixed in evenly.
-
Step 4Using my fingers, I pinch about 1 tablespoon of dough and place in a somewhat rounded mound on cookie sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart. ( or can drop by spoonful) With the bottom of a glass, dip in sugar and flatten down each cookie to about 1/4 inch thick. Dipping in sugar after each cookie.
-
Step 5Place cookies in oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
-
Step 6Remove from sheet to a cooling rack.
-
Step 7Make filling: Mix the 3 ingredients in a bowl, until well blended.
