Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (for filling)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk, as needed for texture (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Roll dough into small balls (about 1 inch), shape into ovals, and press with a fork to create the classic crosshatch pattern. Sprinkle tops lightly with extra sugar.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the filling, beat together creamy peanut butter and unsalted butter until smooth. Add in powdered sugar, mixing until creamy. Gradually add in milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Once cookies are cool, spread or pipe filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to create sandwiches.
