4 Cups all-purpose flour
2 Teaspoons baking soda

Recipe

In a mixing bowl, cream butter, peanut butter and sugars. Add vanilla. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.

Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Add to mixture in mixing bowl.

Shape into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with tins of a fork.

Bake at 375 degrees for 5-6 minutes (important so that you don't over bake!!).

Remove from oven and leave on cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes to allow the cookies to continue absorbing the heat from the cookie sheet. They should be slightly brown on the bottom. Cool on wire racks.

In a mixing bowl combine and mix the filling ingredients until smooth. Spread on half of the cookies and top each with another cookie.

Yield 5 dozen.
