How to Make Delicious Double Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons milk until just combined.
  5. Shape the dough into a 2-inch diameter roll.
  6. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Once chilled, slice the dough into ⅛- to ¼-inch thick rounds.
  8. Place half of the slices onto ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Spread ½ teaspoon of peanut butter onto each cookie.
  10. Top with the remaining cookie slices and gently press the edges together with a fork to seal.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Enjoy! These are best served fresh, but they also store well in an airtight container at room temperature.
