Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Brown sugar keeper. Thank you Alice!

Yes, so at first I thought it was a cookie press ;o) NOW, I know it's for my brown sugar, LOL! It keeps your brown sugar moist.

OH...your going to need a lot of milk with these cookies :)

LOOK at these!!!!!!!!!! HOLY COW! They are great and I'm not a fan of peanut butter. My guys LOVE peanut butter and I wanted to bake a little something to thank my neighbor for all her wonderful help with my flowers :) She was very happy ;o)

That there is the perfect bottom to a cookie.......if you ask me!~
