- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Press each cookie twice with a wet fork (In a crisscross pattern) to make 1/4 inch thick cookies. I use a small bowl of water to keep the fork wet.

- To make filling: Cream all ingredients until smooth. Spread filling between two cookies to form sandwiches and hide from your husband.

Super good! I used Smart Balance spread instead of butter, so next time would omit the salt, it was a bit much for us. But otherwise, very peanut buttery and easy. -

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen!
I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
