Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches

Print Recipe

Homemade peanut butter cookie sandwiches with crisp edges, chewy centers, and a thick peanut butter filling, reminiscent of Nutter Butters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (preferably non-natural like Jif or Skippy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • For the filling:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter until creamy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; mix until combined.
  6. Stir in rolled oats.
  7. Scoop dough into balls using about 2 heaping teaspoons per cookie and place on baking sheets.
  8. Slightly flatten each dough ball with the back of a measuring cup or glass.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and set.
  10. Cool cookies completely on wire racks.
  11. For the filling, beat butter and peanut butter until smooth.
  12. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat until creamy.
  13. Spread or pipe filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.
  14. Repeat with remaining cookies.

Notes

Use a non-natural peanut butter like Jif or Skippy for best texture in the filling. Slightly flattening the dough balls before baking helps the cookies spread evenly. Allow cookies to cool completely before sandwiching to prevent filling from melting.
