Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches


These  peanut butter sandwich cookies are delicious and reminiscent of the  the girl scout cookies, Do-si-dos. The recipe from All Recipes had many good reviews for a good reason! They are full of peanut butter flavor, but not overwhelmingly so. I definitely recommend trying them- they won't disappoint!
