Oatmeal Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

These Oatmeal Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies are delectable. It's a good thing the recipe only makes 6 sandwich cookies, as Mike and I devoured the whole batch within a day; they are that good.

It's been a month since I last posted a new recipe; I'm sorry. Mike and I are settling into our new home, new jobs, and our new routines. We love it and are spending as much free time as we can with the family and friends we've missed so much over the past 3 years of living 9 hours away from home.

Trying new recipes is still on my priority list, but blogging has definitely shifted towards the bottom. I'm taking photos of the new recipes we try, and then waiting until a slow day - like the cold and snowy one we have to today (yuck!) - to catch up on blogging. I'm working on 7 posts today, so I can promise one new recipe a week for the next 7 weeks.

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
Cookie Ingredients:
·¾ cup rolled oats
·¼ tsp baking soda
·1/8 tsp salt
·2 TBS brown sugar
·1 TBS plus 2 tsp white sugar
·2 TBS peanut butter
·2 TBS milk
Filling Ingredients:
·2 TBS powdered sugar
·4 TBS smooth peanut butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375˚. Blend together the first 5 cookies ingredients in a food processor or blender. Mix with peanut butter and milk, form into cookie shapes – flattening slightly into circles – and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and let cookies finish baking on the stovetop.

For the filling, whisk together powdered sugar and peanut butter until light and airy, about 3 minutes. When cookies have cooled, turn 6 upside down. Divide filling equally between each cookie by placing a dollop of filling into the center of each upside down cookie. Place second cookie on top of filling and press together until filling just comes to the edges.
