How to cook deliciously - Banana Cream Sandwich Cookies

1. Stage

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in banana and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in peanuts. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll.

2. Stage

Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

3. Stage

In a small bowl, beat confectioners’ sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla and enough milk to reach spreading consistency. Drop a heaping teaspoon in the center of half of the cookies; press remaining cookies on top to spread frosting.

4. Stage

To Make Ahead: Dough can be made 2 days in advance. Wrap in plastic and place in a resealable bag. Store in the refrigerator.
