Peanut Butter Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

If you like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups like I do than this cookie is for you. Next time I will have to double to recipe as they didn't stick around long. My daughter has already put in her request for a mail-order shipment when she heads off to college in September.

Yields- 25 sandwich cookies

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks butter softened
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 jar Nutella

Preheat the oven to 350. Line baking pans with parchment or silpats. In a large bowl with electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low and add the baking soda and flour. Drop by heaping teaspoon 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Dip the bottom of a glass into sugar and gently press down each mound of dough, redipping the glass into the sugar for each cookie. Bake f9or 12-14 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely. Spread 2 teaspoons of Nutella onto the bottom of 1 cookie and top with another.
Store in a tightly sealed plastic container.
