Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the filling: 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed for texture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in one large egg and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together your flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Roll small balls of dough (about an inch wide), shape them into ovals, and use a fork to create a crosshatch pattern on top. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
  6. Bake your cookies for 8–10 minutes until they’re lightly golden around the edges. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
  7. For the filling, beat together half a cup of peanut butter and a quarter cup of softened butter until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Add milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.
  8. Once cooled, spread or pipe filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie.
