PB Cookie Sandwiches...

This morning I woke up with an idea for a cookie. I tend to wake up with random ideas in the morning. Sometimes I follow through with them, sometimes I don't.

Today it was a peanut butter cookie sandwich. Hmm. I knew I had some peanut butter cookie mix, but the only icing I had was cream cheese icing. Wasn't sure how well those flavors would work together. The older I get the more I like flavors that are kind of light and sweet. Don't get me wrong I'll eat a piece of pecan pie any day of the week, but I'm not brave enough to try pie yet. I'm sticking to basic baked goods right now.

So the cookies are a peanut butter bag mix and some can vanilla frosting. But I tweaked it. (I really just can't leave stuff well enough alone.) I made the cookies 1/2 the recommended size, then took a mixer to the icing to make it more soft and fluffy. I really enjoyed making them today.

I like baking. Weird.

P.S. Courtney ate all the extra ones I had left. She asked me to make them for her wedding.
