I'm a busy mother of two young children. I work in our school office and help my husband on our hog and cattle farm. When I find time to bake a treat, I like it to be special. The creamy filling gives traditional peanut butter cookies a new twist. -Debbie Kokes, Tabor, South Dakota

What a great recipe. I had to fend off my husband and kids while the cookies cooled on the baker's rack. My husband did mention after I sandwiched them together that they tasted great plain, all on their own. This is definately my new plain peanut butter cookie recipe.

just made these cookies for my husband to welcome him home from hunting camp and they are awesome. i did not have butter-flavored shortening so i just used 1/2 shorting and 1/2 butter. there were a little lighter than the picture. but still great..

I was in the mood for peanut butter cookies and wanted to try something different and I believe I have discovered my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe. These are SOOO good! The only complaint I have is for some reason mine didn't come out the size they show in the picture they turned out HUGE and flat. I didn't make huge cookie dough balls either. They are a little hard, but still taste GREAT with the frosting and as others said they are perfect by themselves. I debated whether not to make the frosting, but I wanted to see how good the recipe is when you do it up all the way. The frosting REALLY adds a lot lot too them. I may use the frosting to make some regular chocolate chip cookie sandwhiches with a hint of peanut butter flavor! There are so many ways you can alter this recipe. I look forward to playing with it. Next time I want to make them fancier and drizzle some chocolate on top. Thank you for the GREAT recipe I know it will be one I go to again and again!

Amazing cookies, simply one of my favorites! I saw someone ask if you can use butter instead of shortening: YES!! It turns out even better, in my opinion, as I am not one to like the smell or flavor of shortening. Butter worked perfect and made the cookies all the more incredible!

This is a very good recipe and as another writer said, the cookies are good enough without the icing!I did make the icing and it is delicious but I found 5 tablespoons of milk to be a little much and made the icing a little thinner than desired so I added a touch more sugar and thickened it to the consistency I wanted.Someone else asked if regular shortening would work...that is what I used and the cookies are yummy!My absolute favorite thing about this recipe is if you exclude the icing, it is dairy free which means my dairy allergy daughter can enjoy it as well. I considered making the icing with soy but since this was my first run I went with the milk.Happy baking!

Very good!!! Did them just as the recipe called for. My only complaint is I ran out of frosting! :) (Must have put too much on some of them.) Also did some with grape jelly as some suggested and my husband loved them! I'm sure it would be just as good if you used regular shortning. I have done that in some recipes before and it turned out just as well.
