Ingredients
- Peanut Butter Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Peanut Butter Filling:
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Add the peanut butter and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Scoop dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place 8 per baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
- Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the filling: In a medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, peanut butter, salt, and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Once cookies are cool, spoon or pipe the filling onto the flat side of half the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Freeze by placing in a single layer on a tray, then transferring to a freezer-safe bag or container.
