PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Mix sugars, butter, peanut butter and egg. Gradually stir in flour baking soda & powder, and salt.
• Shape dough in 3/4 inch balls and flatten slightly with a fork if you like the cross hatching pattern. Bake until set but not hard, and golden brown on the bottom, about 10 minutes.
• If you're going to sandwich them with the chocolate, let them cool entirely before doing so. Match up cookies by size so you've got a more uniform sandwich when you're done.
• For the filling, mix the chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla together, and melt over low heat, or in the microwave. Spoon into a ziploc bag, close the bag, and snip a corner to pipe onto the flat side of a cookie. Top with a second cookie, flat side towards chocolate. Attempt to not devour in one sitting. Fail miserably, die happily. :).
