Double Stuff Peanut Butter Cookies

What you don’t know about me.  I once was a Girl Scout.  I once was one of the top seller’s of Girl Scout cookies for my troop,  I LOVE Do-Si-Dos. If I buy cookies for myself from the store they are usually Nutter Butter’s.

Now that I’ve let you in on a couple less known, but seriously important facts about me, I want to share something else.

Here is a peanut butter cookie recipe with a delicious cream filling that you can make from scratch.  Just be sure to keep your pantry well stocked in peanut butter…
