Ingredients
For the cookies
- 1/2 cup butter softened (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening*
- 1 cup dark brown sugar or light
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 & 1/2 cups flour spooned and leveled
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup quick oats**
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats**
For the frosting
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk OR cream plus more
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup shortening for 2 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom.
- Add 1 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup white sugar. Beat for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Add 1 cup peanut butter and beat until incorporated.
- Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat well, scraping sides and bottom.
- Add 1 and 1/2 cups flour but don't mix it in. Use a small spoon to stir 2 teaspoons baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt into the flour. Then beat the dry ingredients gently into the wet ingredients. Stop mixing when there are still flour streaks.
- Add 1 cup quick oats and 1/2 cup old fashioned oats. Stir until incorporated but do not over mix. Make sure you scrape the sides and bottom.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the fridge for 1-3 hours (or overnight).
- When the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Use a 1 inch cookie scoop to measure out the dough.
- Bake the cookies at 350 for 8-10 minutes until the centers have just barely lost their shine. The edges should be firm. Do not over bake.
- Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Let cool completely while you make the frosting.
- Make the frosting: In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter until it is smooth and creamy. Add 1/2 cup peanut butter and combine.
- Add 1 cup powdered sugar and beat, scraping the sides.
- Add 2 tablespoons of milk or cream to start. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Add more milk or cream, a couple teaspoons at a time, until it has reached a good spreading consistency that you like.
- Spread about a tablespoon of frosting on the bottom of each cookie, then sandwich with another cookie. Devour! So good dipped in milk.
Notes
- *You can replace the shortening with butter! The cookies will be delicious, but not quite as soft as with shortening. I tried it both ways.
- **You can use any combination of old fashioned oats and quick oats that you like. All old fashioned, all quick, or a combo. It's really just personal preference!
