Equipment

  • stand mixer
  • cookie sheet
  • parchment paper
  • piping bag

Ingredients
  

for the cookies

  • 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter we recommend Jiff or Skippy!
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

for the peanut butter filling

  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 0.67 cup powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Making Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the peanut butter, butter and brown sugar on low speed until combined. Gradually increase to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the bowl, then add in the egg and vanilla. Beat to combine.
  • Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and beat on low speed until just combined.
  • Use a 1 ounce cookie scoop to portion out equal amounts of dough. Shape the dough balls into flat oval discs and place on the baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • Use a fork to make crosshatches on each circular end of the dough.
  • Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until puffed up and set around the edges but still soft in the middle.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely.

Making Filling

  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until smooth.
  • If filling is too thick, add the last tablespoon of cream. Transfer to a piping bag.
  • Match up cooled cookies into pairs. Pipe filling onto the bottom of one half and sandwich together with the other half.

Notes

If you prefer crunchier cookies, bake for 2 to 3 more minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
