Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup (120g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cookies:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
    • Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until combined.
    • Stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Add heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the filling reaches a spreadable consistency.
  • Assemble the Sandwich Cookies:
    • Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cookie.
    • Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
    • Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

Notes

 

  • For a firmer filling, refrigerate the assembled cookies for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
