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
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter for filling
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened for filling
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for filling
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk for filling, 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 softened unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
  5. Roll dough into small balls (about 1 inch), shape them into ovals, and press each with a fork for a crosshatch pattern. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
  6. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely on wire racks.
  7. For the filling, beat together creamy peanut butter and softened unsalted butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until creamy, adding milk as needed for texture.
  8. Spread or pipe the filling onto one cookie's flat side and top with another cookie.
