Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for filling)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until combined.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
6. Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. For the filling, mix the powdered sugar with a tablespoon of peanut butter and a splash of milk until smooth.
9. Once the cookies are cool, spread the peanut butter filling on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
