Ingredients:

Cookie

• 1½ cups of flour
• 1 tsp of baking soda
• ¼ tsp of kosher salt
• ½ cup of unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
• 1 cup of light brown sugar
• 1 cup of smooth peanut butter
• 1 large egg
• ½ tsp of pure vanilla extract
• ½ cup of sugar, to roll the dough in

Peanut Butter Filling

• ¼cup of unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
• ½ cup of smooth peanut butter
• 1½ cups of powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp of whole milk
• ¼ tsp of pure vanilla extract

Directions:

Cookie

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat, and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and salt, then whisk them all together to combine, and set it aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter, then beat them together until creamy and combined, then add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until incorporated.

Step 2

Gradually pour in the flour mixture, then mix them together just until combined, and divide the dough into small balls about 1 inch in diameter each. Shape each ball into a small log, then roll them in a bowl of sugar to coat, and place them in the prepared baking sheet making sure to space them about 2 inches apart from each other.

Step 3

Press down the fork on each log to make a criss-cross pattern, then pinch the middle as shown in the video, and place them in the preheated oven. Allow them to bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges and soft in the center, then let them cool down on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack, and allowing them to cool down completely.

Peanut Butter Filling

Step 4

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, then beat it over medium speed until fluffy, and add the peanut butter, 1 cup of powdered, milk, and vanilla extract. Continue to mix them together until combined, then gradually pour the remaining powdered sugar while mixing continuously until smooth. Take 1 cookie, then spread about 1 tablespoon of filling on the bottom, and then place another cookie on top to create a sandwich. Serve and enjoy!
