Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches

These things are seriously to-die for. I got the original recipe for these delicious, fluffy cookies here. When I experiment with recipes I'm worried about my recipe not being as good as the original. I've wished many times that I stuck with the recipe so I could enjoy the little treats I imagined, instead of the ones that I messed up in an attempt to enhance them. This time, I really struck gold with my own version. I decided to make the cookies smaller and add a peanut butter frosting in between them. This, my friends, is the perfect treat for any peanut butter lover, cookie lover, after-school snack, or dish to pass. Seriously, go make them right now. You won't be sorry.

9. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies begin to crack slightly. Let cook for a few minutes, then place on a cookie sheet.

10. Mix up the Peanut Butter Frosting from the recipe below, and spread in between the cookies with a knife.

1/2 a stick of Butter

1/2 cup Peanut Butter

2 cups Confectionery Sugar

1 1/2 Tablespoons Milk

Preparation:

1. Combine the ingredients.

Since I'm at college making these, I do not have a mixer. So, everything in this recipe I did by hand. Also, I used creamy peanut butter but, will probably try it with crunchy next time. I'm sure both would be delicious. Please let me know if you try these and how they turn out!
