Notes:
from Meryl - Here's the recipe, Roy. I haven't tried it myself yet, but after looking at the ingredient proportions, it seems like it could use more peanut butter in both the cookie part and the filling. What do you think? (By the way, I've also seen something similar to this recipe on another site, but it uses 3 cups flour instead of 4, and uses 2 eggs instead of 3).

~~~`from Beck - I just made these cookies. 5 Tablespoons of milk was to much try 3-4. They are very good and there is enough peanut butter.

from Roy - I made the Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies also and everyone loves them. I added a 1/2 cup more peanut butter to the batter and a 1/4 cup more peanut butter to the filling. I also added a 1/4 cup of butter to the filling and used 5 Tablespoons of milk to the filling. My daughter took 2 dozen to school and she said the kids in her room wanted more. Thanks for posting the recipe.
