Soft Peanut Butter Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup shortening or 1 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
FILLING
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 -6 teaspoons milk

Preparation

Cream together shortening, peanut butter and sugars.
Add vanilla.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one.
Mix together flour, baking soda and salt.
Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture.
Shape into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets.
Flatten slightly with a fork.
Bake at 375 F for about 8 minutes until golden. When you take them out, they will be a bit soft but leave them on the sheet for a couple minutes and they will continue to cook.
Remove from the sheet and cool on wire racks.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat filling ingredients until smooth.
Spread on one half of cool cookies and top each with another cookie.
