Units Scale

For the cookies:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Make filling: Beat peanut butter and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Adjust consistency with milk.
  6. 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.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
