Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 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, creamy 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 the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch), then shape them into ovals. Press them lightly with a fork to create a classic crosshatch pattern on top and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
  6. Bake your shaped cookies in the preheated oven for about 8–10 minutes until they are lightly golden. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
  7. While your cookies cool, beat together half a cup of creamy peanut butter with a quarter cup of softened unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract until creamy. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  8. Once cooled, spread or pipe the filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie.
