American · Dessert · 42 min total

These homemade cookies mimic the classic peanut-shaped sandwich cookies with a creamy peanut butter filling, offering a nostalgic treat with a crispy, nutty texture.

Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 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)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork in a crosshatch pattern.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
7. For filling: Beat 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1/4 cup butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, beating until creamy.
8. Spread about 1 teaspoon filling on the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use chunky peanut butter in the dough.
• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Cookies can be frozen unfilled for up to 3 months; fill after thawing.
