Ingredients
- Butter: 1 cup (softened)
- Sugar: 1 cup
- Egg: 1 large
- Peanut Butter: 1 cup (creamy)
- Flour: 2 ½ cups
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: ½ teaspoon
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Powdered Sugar: 1 ½ cups
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Assemble the Dish: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Cook to Perfection: Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to press down on each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Finishing Touches: While the cookies cool, make the filling by mixing together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the cookies have cooled, spread a layer of peanut butter filling on the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another. Enjoy these delightful treats with a glass of milk!
Notes
- Chill your dough before baking to make it easier to shape and get the perfect texture.
- Don’t overbake! The cookies should be golden at the edges but soft in the center.
- For a fun twist, dip the cookies in melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
