[QUOTE="donna723, post: 224152, member: 1883"] Every year I have to post the peanut butter sandwich cookie recipe - it's my own tradition! They're not pretty and they're not really 'Christmasy', but they're so good people fight over them! Every year I have to take a big plateful to work and I have to send my son-in-law a big bag of them every Christmas. It's not really even a 'recipe'. You can use any good standard peanut butter cookie recipe. I always use the one on the butter-flavored Crisco package because it's really good and they stay a little chewy.
