Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are a homemade version of the Girl Scout's Do-si-do cookies. They're a yummy filled peanut butter cookie. This recipe is just the right size too--it makes about 15 sandwich cookies.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 cup flour

1 cup oatmeal

3 Tbsp butter, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

3 Tbsp milk

Cream together butter, peanut butter, and sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well.

Add baking soda, salt, baking powder, and flour. Stir. Fold in oatmeal.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Flatten balls with a fork. I suggest only cooking 9 at a time because these cookies spread quite a bit (they are meant to be thin).

Bake at 350 for 8-9 minutes or until edges lightly brown. Let cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then move cookies to a cooling rack.

In a small bowl, cream together remaining butter and peanut butter. Add powdered sugar and stir until no lumps remain. Add in milk and stir until smooth.

Spread frosting inbetween two cookies and make sandwiches with them. Serve with a glass of milk!
