Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
These soft sandwich cookies are a peanut butter lover's dream! A creamy peanut butter filling is sandwiched between plush sugar coated peanut butter cookies ~ how could they be anything but fabulous?
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling cookies
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
for the peanut butter filling
- 6 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 Tbsp milk or cream, plus a little more if needed
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, or with electric beaters, cream together the sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, softened butter, and egg until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and fold together until there are no streaks of flour left.
- Scoop the dough into 1 tablespoon-sized balls, and roll in sugar. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between all the cookies.
- Bake for 8 minutes. The cookies will still look fairly pale and be puffy. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to fully cool.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the filling by adding all of the filling ingredients to a bowl and mixing together with the back of a fork (you can also use a stand mixer for this if you prefer) until creamy and smooth.
- To assemble the cookies, place a generous amount of the filling onto the back of one peanut butter cookie (about 1 tablespoon), and then sandwich with a second cookie, pressing lighting together.
