Equipment

- Piping bag For filling the cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp salted butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla to the mixture, and mix until well combined.
- Incorporate the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt into the mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Use a 2 tsp cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. If you don't have a cookie scoop, refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes for easier handling.
- Bake the cookies at 300°F for 15-17 minutes, or until they flatten and the edges turn golden brown.
- Once baked, let the cookies cool completely on the pan.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the peanut butter filling:
- - In a bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
- - Add the powdered sugar and mix until thick.
- - Gradually add the heavy whipping cream until a thick, creamy consistency is achieved.
- Assemble the cookies by spreading or piping the peanut butter filling onto the bottom of one cookie and sandwiching it with another.
- Repeat the process to make all the nutter butter sandwich cookies.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
