Hell yeah got my book "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World" today. It looks like it has some great recipes, and I can't wait to make them. Today work was so long that tonight is a cookie night. I've never made these cookies before but they turned out to be the best cookies I've ever made. If I was you I would start making them RIGHT NOW.  



Chocolate-Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies




1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar, packed
6 tablespoons earth balance butter, room temperature
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon egg replacer
1 1/3 cups chocolate chips

    Filling
    1/2 cup high-quality chocolate, chopped
    1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
    2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
    1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
    6 tablespoons whipping cream

      Cookies:
      Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat powdered sugar, dark brown sugar, and butter in large bowl to blend.
      Add peanut butter; beat until creamy. Gradually beat in vegetable oil and vanilla extract, then egg. Add dry ingredients; mix just until blended. Stir in milk chocolate chips.
      Drop cookie dough by level tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake cookies until puffed and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly, then transfer cookies to rack to cool completely.

      Filling:
      Place chocolate, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and kosher salt in medium bowl. Bring whipping cream to boil in heavy small saucepan. Pour hot cream over chocolate mixture; stir until mixture is melted and smooth. Chill until filling is thick and spreadable, about 1 hour. Spread about 1 rounded teaspoonful chocolate-peanut butter filling on flat side of 1 cookie. Top with second cookie, forming sandwich. Repeat with remaining filling and cookies.
