Do-Si-Dos Cookies
Description
Do-Si-Dos Cookies combine the rustic chewiness of rolled oats with a traditional cookie batter that includes brown and granulated sugars for sweetness and depth. Leavening agents and salt balance the flavors while producing a delicate rise. After baking to a golden finish, the cookies are cooled fully before being matched with a peanut butter filling made with butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk for spreadability. The resulting sandwich cookie offers a tender, slightly crisp exterior giving way to a smooth, creamy center, ideal for anyone seeking a peanut butter-centered cookie with a textured bite.
The flavors bring together the brown sugar caramel notes and creamy peanut butter richness with the wholesome oats. These cookies can be served as a snack, dessert, or accompaniment to coffee or milk. Their firm structure also makes them suitable for packing in lunchboxes or sharing at gatherings.
For best results, salted butter is recommended to enhance flavor balance. Using room temperature ingredients helps in achieving the proper mixing and texture of dough and filling. Allowing the cookies to cool completely before filling avoids melting the cream and keeps the texture optimal.
Ingredients
Cookies
- 1/2 cup butter at cool room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling
- 2 tablespoons butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup peanut butter 2 tablespoons, smooth
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars together until light and creamy.
- Beat in the egg until well-combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the butter mixture, stirring on low speed until just incorporated.
- Drop cookies by tablespoonful onto prepared baking sheets, spacing dough about 2-inches apart.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes.
- Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
- To prepare the filling, beat together butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Add milk, and beat to combine. Filling should be at a spreadable consistency.
- Once cookies are cool, turn half cookies flat side up.
- Spread those cookies with peanut butter filling.
- Top filling with another cookie.
Notes
- Use salted butter in the cookie dough to achieve balanced flavor; if using unsalted butter, increase salt in the dough and filling accordingly.
- Light or dark brown sugar can be used, affecting the cookie's depth of flavor.
- Rolled oats are preferred; quick oats have not been tested and may alter texture.
- Smooth peanut butter is recommended for filling to ensure creamy consistency; natural peanut butter may not blend well.
- Milk of any fat content or nondairy milk can be used to adjust filling spreadability.
