Easy Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
Soft and chewy peanut butter cookies with a sweet peanut butter cream filling are the perfect dessert.
Ingredients
- Cookies
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Filling
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5-6 Tbsp milk
Instructions
- Make the Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- With an electric mixer, blend together the sugar, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla until they are combined, smooth, and thick! (Roughly 3 minutes)
- Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded Tbs onto a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Press down with the back of a fork and then press again from the opposite direction to form the perfect criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for about 10–12 minutes until the top is slightly brown. They will still be slightly soft if you press on them while hot from the oven. (Don’t worry, they will crisp up as they cool!)
- Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cook and firm up.
- Make the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, use the hand mixer to cream the ingredients for the filling together until well combined.
- Spread the filling on half of the cookies and top each one with another cookie.
- Store in an airtight container.
