Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter room temperature
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour lightly spooned and leveled
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5-6 tablespoons 2% milk
Instructions
Make the cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 375º Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars on medium speed. Add vanilla and mix. 1 cup salted butter, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup packed brown sugar
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 large eggs
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Use a cookie scoop to shape the dough into 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten each dough ball in a criss-cross pattern with the tines of a fork.
- Bake the cookies for 5-6 minutes. Do not overbake! Remove the pan from the oven and leave the cookies on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes. The cookies will continue to absorb heat from the cookie sheet. After this, move the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Make the filling.
- In a medium bowl, use the hand mixer to cream the ingredients for the filling together until well combined. If the frosting is too stiff, add enough milk to make it a light and spreadable creamy frosting. 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 5-6 tablespoons 2% milk
- Spread the filling on half of the cookies and top each one with a second cookie.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container.
- Jif, Skippy Aldi or Meijer brand is the kind of peanut butter I typically buy. Whichever is on sale!
- You can also use a piping bag to pipe the frosting onto the cookies. This may keep the cookies looking "cleaner".
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
