Copycat Nutter Butter Cookies
Description
The cookie dough includes softened unsalted butter, smooth peanut butter, granulated and brown sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, flour, and salt to create a rich peanut butter-flavored base. After forming dough balls and imprinting them with a fork or stamp, the cookies bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned on top but still soft inside. Cooling on the sheet prevents breakage and over-baking.
The filling combines butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk to produce a sweet, creamy frosting that is piped or spread onto half the cookies before sandwiching with the rest. This results in a classic peanut buttery texture and taste reminiscent of the original Nutter Butter cookies, suitable as a snack or dessert.
Preparing the dough and frosting as directed ensures the cookies keep their shape and texture. The recipe yields a tender cookie exterior with a sweet, peanut-forward cream center.
