Directions
Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃) F (190 degrees C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, 1 cup creamy peanut butter and white and brown sugars.
Add vanilla and then eggs, one at a time.
Beat well after each addition. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add slowly to creamy mixture.
Shape into 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Flatten balls with a fork.
Bake for 7 to 8 minutes depending on size (I tend to keep a close eye on them and remove them as soon as they start to get golden.
This helps to make them chewy.)
Cool on wire racks.
To Make the filling: Combine ½ cup creamy peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl adding enough milk to make for a creamy, frosting like texture.
Spread frosting on one cookie and top off to make "sandwich".
