Ingredients

Cookie

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter any kind will work but I would consider one with little to no sugar as this recipe has quite a bit of sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup oats quick oats will work best

Filling

  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 3 tbsp butter softened
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2.5 tbsp heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Cookie

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

  2. Cream together softened butter, peanut butter, white and brown sugars, and vanilla

  3. Add the egg and mix thoroughly

  4. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together and then pour in the creamed mixture and mix thoroughly

  5. Add the oatmeal and mix

  6. Use a teaspoon to measure out dough and place on greased cookie sheet

  7. Place 12 cookies on a sheet and used fork to lightly flatten, leaving the traditional peanut butter markings on cookie.

  8. Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes and let cool on wire rack

Filling

  1. Cream together butter, confectioners sugar, peanut butter, and heavy cream

  2. Sit aside until cookies are baked and cooled

Making Sandwich Cookies

  1. Once cookies are cooled, use a knife to spread filling on bottom side of one cooking, then press the bottom of another cookie onto the filling... making a sandwich

Recipe Notes

The cookies would be great without filling and the filling could go on a single cookie instead of making a sandwich.
