Ingredients

• 1-1 ⁄2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 ⁄2 c. sugar
• 1 ⁄2 t. baking soda
• 1 ⁄4 t. salt
• 1 ⁄2 c. shortening
• 3 ⁄4 c. creamy peanut butter, divided
• 1 ⁄4 c. light corn syrup
• 1 T. milk

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Blend in shortening and 1⁄2 cup peanut butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Blend in syrup and milk. Form into a roll 2 inches thick; cover and chill at least 30 minutes. Cut into 1⁄8-inch-thick to 1⁄4-inch-thick slices. Arrange half the slices on ungreased baking sheets; spread each with 1⁄2 teaspoon peanut butter. Top with remaining slices; seal edges with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden.

Makes about 2 dozen.
