PENNY'S PASTRIES

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup+ 1/3 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup+1 T packed dark brown sugar

6 T (3/4 stick) softened butter

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 large egg

1 1/3 cup (8 oz) milk chocolate chips

3 oz chopped milk chocolate

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

2 T powdered sugar

1/4 tsp salt

6 T whipping cream

Make the filling so it has time to set up. Combine chocolate, peanut butter, powdered sugar and salt into a bowl. Bring the cream just to a boil and pour over chocolate mixture. Whisk til smooth. Chill until thick and spreadable (about an hr)

Preheat oven to 350*.

In a bowl mix flour, soda, powder, and salt. Set aside. Using a mixer (or handheld) mix butter, powdered sugar, and dark brown sugar. Mix til creamy and add the peanut butter. Mix till creamy. Slowly add the oil, egg and vanilla. When fully incorporated add the flour mixture. Add in chocolate chips. Place by rounded tablespoons on a baking sheet and bake for about 12 min. They will look uncooked and fluffy, but they will cook up just by sitting and harden up. Don't over bake or they will be like a rock!

Assembly by spreading some of the filling on the flat side of a cookie and place another cookie on top! How much filling you want is up to you! You can always make more filling!
