This is a wonderful recipe that my vegan step-daughter gave me. So delicious and so healthy. My younger kids loved them! Top with chia seeds, black sesame seeds, or chocolate chips! I add whatever I want to the frosting; you could add peanut butter or peanut butter chips!

Peanut-Ginger Double-Deckers
Stacking two cookie doughs makes for an impressive-looking cookie. It also means you don't have to pick between your two faves! You just need two cookies that bake in about the same time. I used a half batch of two Allrecipes recipes-Big Soft Ginger Cookies and Chef John's Peanut Butter Cookies--with minor changes (less water and more flour to bulk up the base recipe, for example) and a little water to adhere them.
