Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 C Butter
- 1 C Creamy Peanut Butter, I use Jiff
- 1 1/4 C Light Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 TBSP Vanilla
- 1 TBSP Whole Milk
- 1 3/4 C Flour
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
For the Peanut Butter Creme
- 1/2 C Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/4 C Butter, Softened
- 1 1/2 C Powdered Sugar, sifted
- 2 TBSP Milk, add one at a time
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together.
- Add egg, vanilla, peanut butter, milk and mix well.
- Sift in flour, baking soda and salt, then mix until combined. Dough will be thick, I find using my hands work better than a mixer at this point.
- Use cooking spray to spray a cookie sheet and set aside.
- I love these in the mini form, though you can make them any size you would like.
- Roll cookie dough into small balls and press a dinner fork down into the top of the dough, then repeat in a cross pattern on each ball.
- If making mini cookies, bake for 6 to 7 minutes. Larger cookies, bake for 8-9 minutes. Do not over bake. You will know when its done if there are small holes in the tops of the cookie when looking closely.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before assembling.
For the Peanut Butter Creme
- In a small bowl, cream the butter and peanut butter together.
- Then add the powdered sugar, vanilla and 1 tbsp of milk and mix until creamy.
- If mixture is too thick add the second tbsp of milk and mix again.
- Mixture will be thick, you do not want this runny.
- After cookies are cooled, take one cookie and spread about a tablespoon of peanut butter cream.
- Take another cookie and press the bottom of that cookie on the creme to make the sandwich.
- Repeat for remaining cookies.
- Then enjoy every bite!
