Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375º F. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
2. Beat together first 3 ingredients and ½ cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Stir in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly stir flour mixture into peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
3. Scoop dough onto prepared cookie sheets, 1 rounded tablespoonful at a time, about 2 inches apart. (Dough should yield about 24 cookies.) Press cookies flat with the back of a fork dipped into remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle cookies with any remaining sugar, if desired, and bake 12 minutes or until golden brown around edges. Remove from oven, and cool 5 minutes on pan; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Spread about 1 tablespoon Creamy Peanut Butter Filling onto flat side of 12 cookies, and top each with another cookie, flat side down, to make a sandwich.

Personal Notes:
If you like peanut butter, this cookie will make your taste buds very happy. These are good even without the creamy filling if you choose to omit that step, but please, try them as the directions are written. That little extra step is so worth the effort. Kids and adults love them! Have your little ones help with the assembly. They will love licking the bowl and will remember the memory of "helping Mommy" for years to come.
