Given the magnitude of tomorrow’s game for my beloved Buffalo Bills. I needed to bring in a second treat (to bribe the football gods, if you will). So i present peanut butter cutout football cookie sandwiches with a hersheys chocolate frosting filling. Btw, I forgot what it was like having your team play important games this time of year. I have missed that stress! I got a good dose of it watching the game in Pittsburgh last Sunday night.

• 1/2 cup peanut butter

• 1 tbs vanilla

Directions – preheat oven to 350. cream butter and peanut butter. Blend in sugar well. Add egg and vanilla, then dry ingredients. On a floured surface, roll out to desired thickness and cut. On a cookie sheet lined with nonstick baking liners, stagger cookies (they don’t spread much). Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Cool
