Soft, chewy peanut butter cookies sandwiched with a creamy peanut butter filling. A classic homemade treat that's easy to make and even easier to enjoy.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (for filling)
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
• 1-2 tablespoons milk (for filling)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat together 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
3. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 1/2 cup peanut butter, powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons butter until smooth. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until spreadable consistency.
8. Spread about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips

• For extra flavor, use crunchy peanut butter in the dough or filling.
• If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes before rolling.
• Cookies can be frozen unfilled for up to 3 months.
