Smucker's Banana Cookies With Peanut Butter Filling

These look really cute and tasty. An Elvis favorite in a cookie sandwich form, perhaps? It comes from the Smucker's website, but you could use any brand peanut butter I'm sure. Prep and Cook times are guesses.

These cookies are wonderful. I made them for a bake sale (and some for us, of course). The peanut butter filling is soooooo good (I used JIF)! Just one caution: these cookies SPREAD OUT! Also, only LIGHTLY grease your cookie sheets. My first cookie sheet was "overgreased" and the cookies spread way too much and the edges browned before the centers were done. By the second cookie sheet, I had them figured out:) I'll make these again. Thanx for posting.Reply
