Everyone in my family loves the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. So my wife used her quick chocolate cookie recipe, created a peanut butter cream, and combined them to create this Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie. For Shabbat, we all enjoyed these delicious, parve chocolate sandwich cookies with peanut butter filling for dessert.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- COOKIES
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup oil
- 2 (18.25 ounce, 500 gram) packages Pillsbury chocolate cake mix (parve)
- FILLING
- 1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup margarine, room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3-4 Tbsp. parve cream (like Rich's)
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs. Add oil. Add cake mix. Mix well.
3. With slightly wet or oiled hands, form 2 inch balls from the cookie dough. Place them on the cookie sheets, and flatten slightly with the palm of hand or a spoon. The cookies will spread in the oven, so be sure to leave room between them.
4. Bake the cookies at 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius) for 10-12 minutes.
5. When the cookies are ready, remove from the oven but leave them on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack.
6. In a mixing bowl, mix together all filling ingredients. Spread a thin layer of filling in between 2 cookies to form a sandwich cookie.
Yield: 25 cookies
