Chocolate peanut butter sandwich cookies
We haven't had a treat in awhile (depending on your definition of awhile; my definition idicates this is long overdue), so here is one of the most delicious cookie recipes I have ever made and three reasons why I love it.
Why chocolate peanut butter sandwich cookies are wonderful:
1. soft yet firm chocolatey cookies remind me of ice cream sandwiches, which I think are billiant
2. fluffy peanut butter icing (speaks for itself)
3. these are esay to assemble yet look beautiful
Be sure to wet your hands when rolling the dough into little balls. It will also help if you've refrigerated the dough for at least several hour prior to balling it.
The baking time is just long enough to whip up your peanut butter icing, just be sure to let the cookies cool completely before icing them. Remember to ice the flat sides and obviously press them together flat-on-flat to make cute rounded sandwich cookies.

Directions:
Mix until smooth the shortening, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients. Refrigerate dough for a couple hours before baking. With damp hands, roll dough into balls about the size of a ping pong ball. Place on lightly sprayed cookie sheets, or a top parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees until cookies are firm but not crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely before adding the peanut butter icing (on the flat sides and pressing together to form sandwiches).
