Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Warning...Calories Ahead...



These cookies are so good you won't be able to stop after one! If you love peanut butter and chocolate these will be your new favorite cookie. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies with Chocolate Peanut Butter Creme
Ingredients:

1 cup butter (as always I use "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" cubes
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. corn syrup
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups quick cooking oatmeal

For sandwich creme:
1 (12 oz.) package semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine butter with peanut butter and beat until smooth. Beat in brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy, then add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add vanilla and corn syrup and beat until smooth, then add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Add oats and mix until combined.

Drop by large teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10-14 minutes until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on sheets.


For filling:
Combine chocolate chips and 1/2 cup peanut butter in a small microwave bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and stir. Continue microwaving at 1 minute intervals stirring after each minute until mixture is smooth. Let cool 20 minutes.


Make sandwiches with the cookies and chocolate filling. Let stand at room temp until set, then store in airtight container.

Makes 24 cookies
