Peanut butter cookie sandwiches are best eaten on the same day that they are filled. However, they could be kept refrigerated for up to 3 days. Store unfilled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze them for longer keeping.

peanut butter cookie recipe makes about 2 dozen sandwiches.

TIP: If you prefer a richer taste and texture in your homemade peanut butter cookies, simply reduce the amount of flour. After all, the ratio of flour to butter (whether butter or peanut butter) determines how rich a cookie is. The lower this ratio is, the richer the cookie.
