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 softened unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in one large egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
  5. Roll dough into small balls (about 1 inch), shape into ovals, and lightly press with a fork for the classic crosshatch design. Sprinkle with extra sugar.
  6. Bake on the lined sheet for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden; allow cooling on a rack.
  7. For the filling, beat together peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth; adjust texture with milk if needed.
  8. Once cooled, spread filling on one cookie and top with another to form sandwiches.
