Ingredients

  • ½ cup chunky peanut butter

  • ½ cup shortening

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • teaspoon salt

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

Peanut Cream Filling

  • ¾ cup chunky peanut butter

  • ¾ cup marshmallow crème

  • 3 tablespoon milk

  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 3 tablespoon powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl beat peanut butter and shortening with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.

  2. For each cookie, shape 1 level teaspoon of the dough into a ball. Place balls 1-1/2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten cookies by making crisscross marks with tines of a fork dipped in granulated sugar.

  3. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer to a wire rack; cool.

  4. Spread Peanut Cream Filling on bottoms of half of the cookies, using 1 teaspoon per cookie. Top with the remaining cookies, bottom sides down.
