Do-Si-Dos (Peanut butter Sandwich Cookies
Do-Si-Dos are homemade peanut butter sandwich cookies made from natural peanut butter, coconut sugar, and oats. The cookies bake into soft rounds that are pressed slightly before baking, then sandwiched together with a smooth peanut butter filling sweetened with maple syrup and slightly thickened with oat flour. This combination yields chewy, nutty cookies with a naturally sweet filling.
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.
