Do-Si-Dos (Peanut butter Sandwich Cookies
Description
The dough combines natural peanut butter, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla extract with rolled oats, oat flour, baking soda, and salt, creating a textured cookie batter. Small scoops of dough are rolled into balls, gently pressed, and baked until the bottoms are lightly browned. Cooling on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack helps the cookies firm up slightly.
While cookies bake, the peanut butter filling is prepared by mixing peanut butter with maple syrup and oat flour to create a spreadable consistency. Once the cookies cool completely, pairs are assembled by spreading filling on one cookie and topping with another, forming classic sandwich cookies.
These cookies have a chewy texture with the oat elements and a rich, nutty flavor from the peanut butter, complemented by modest sweetness from coconut sugar and maple syrup. They can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert and offer a homemade version of a popular peanut butter treat.
Ingredients
- ½ cup peanut butter natural
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- 1 egg whisked
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 Tablespoon oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
Peanut Butter Filling
- ⅓ cup peanut butter natural
- 1½ Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1½ teaspoons oat flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Mix: In a large bowl stir together peanut butter, coconut sugar and egg. Add vanilla, oats, oat flour, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.
- Scoop and form: Using a 1/2 tablespoon, scoop cookie dough and roll into a ball. Place on an un-greased baking sheet, gently press each cookie down a tiny bit and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
- Let cool: Remove and let cool on baking sheet for 4-5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make filling: While cookies are baking, make the peanut butter filling by stirring together peanut butter, maple syrup and oat flour.
- Make sandwich cookies: Once cookies are cool start making the sandwiches. Spread a little of the peanut butter filling on the bottom of one cookie and then gently press the bottom of another cookie on top. Repeat until all cookies are sandwiched. If you happen to have an odd number of cookies, that just means that you can eat one while making these. :)
- Enjoy: Once sandwiched, the cookies are ready to serve!
- Store: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temp for 3-4 days, in the fridge for 5-7 days or the freezer for 3 months. Cookies are best served right away if you like crisp cookies. They will soften as they age.
Notes
- Natural peanut butter provides authentic flavor but any nut or seed butter can be substituted.
- Coconut sugar adds a mellow sweetness; regular sugar may be used instead if preferred.
- Egg acts as a binder; a flaxseed egg alternative may be possible but isn't tested.
- Oat flour supports structure; different flours have not been tested in this recipe.
- Maple syrup in the filling can be swapped for other liquid sweeteners like honey or agave syrup.
