For the cookies:
1cup creamy peanut butter
1/2cup unsalted butter, softened
1cup brown sugar
1/2cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
1/2cup creamy peanut butter
1/4cup unsalted butter, softened
1cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
Bake: Roll dough into 1-inch balls, place on baking sheets, flatten slightly, and bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Make filling: Beat peanut butter and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Adjust consistency with milk.
Assemble cookies: Spread or pipe filling onto one cookie and top with another to form a sandwich.
Notes
For added texture, roll cookie dough in sugar before baking.
