Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Reserve 1/2 cup baking chips for drizzle; set aside.

Combine 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar and 1/4 cup peanut butter in large bowl; beat at medium speed until well mixed. Add egg and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking soda and baking powder. Beat until well mixed. Stir in remaining baking chips.

Place sugar into small bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with bottom of glass dipped in sugar. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.

Combine all filling ingredients in small bowl. Spread bottom-side of 1 cookie with about 1 teaspoon filling; top with another cookie, bottom-side down. Repeat with remaining cookies.

Combine reserved baking chips and shortening in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH (100% power) 1 minute; stir until melted. Drizzle over top of sandwich cookies.
*Substitute 3/4 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3/4 cup peanut butter baking chips. Stir to combine; reserve 1/2 cup for drizzle.
