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 (as needed for texture)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in one large egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to the wet mixture until combined.
Shape dough into small balls (about 1 inch), flatten slightly with a fork to create a crosshatch pattern, and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden; let cool completely on the baking sheet.
For the filling, beat together additional peanut butter with softened butter until smooth; mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Add milk as needed for desired texture.
Spread or pipe filling onto one side of each cookie and sandwich them together.
