Peanut Butter Pie Cookies

1 cup soft butter
1 cup granulated sugar
⅔  cup packed brown sugar
2  eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter and sugars with an electric mixer on medium high for 1 minute or until fluffy. Hand stir in egg and vanilla; don’t overmix. Add dry ingredients all at once and mix until fully incorporated. Add 1 Tablespoon more flour for high elevation. Scoop out approximately 16 1.5” balls of dough.  Gently roll.  For a richer flavor and smoother texture, form cookie dough balls, flatten slightly, and refrigerate or freeze until ready to bake. Place on greased or parchment paper on an aluminum cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 min. Let cool completely. Pipe peanut butter Cream onto each cookie. Drizzle with melted peanut butter and Peanut Butter Fudge Ganache. 
Refrigerate until serving.
