directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F & line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper for even browning & to guard against burning.
  • FOR THE COOKIE DOUGH ~ In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda & salt.
  • In a large bowl, & with an electric mixer at high speed, beat butter, peanut butter & both sugars until light & fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs & vanilla, then gently fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
  • Roll a rounded tablespoon of dough between your hands to make a ball, then place it on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat until cookie dough is all used up.
  • Dip a fork in some additional granulated sugar & press each dough ball to make a crisscross pattern.
  • Bake for 14 minutes or until lightly brown around the edges.
  • Set the baking sheets on wire racks & cool 5 minutes before transferring cookies directly onto the wire racks to cool completely.
  • FOR THE FILLING ~ In a medium bowl beat all filling ingredients together until creamy.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the flat side of 1 cookie & press the flat side of a 2nd cookie onto the filling, creating a cookie sandwich. Repeat until sandwich cookies are completed!

  1. I am going to rate this 5 stars because I didn't care for the filling but I didn't follow the recipe. I used cream cheese, butter, p-nut butter and powdered sugar but I tripled the recipe by eyeballing the amounts but didn't care for the cream cheese taste. I have used just butter, p-nut butter, vanilla and powdered sugar before for frosting and liked that much better. Having said all that, the cookies were great! I subbed dark brown sugar for the brown sugar. Will make again maybe with a strawberry or grape filling.

  3. Oh my goodness, these are awesome! Made exactly as directed and ended up with about 50 cookies. The cookies themselves are very good on their own and my kids liked them more with the filling. Very good! Made for Newest Zaar tag. Thanks Syndney Mike! :)
