Ingredients

• 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter (for filling)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of smooth peanut butter, 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened), 0.75 cup of packed brown sugar, and 0.5 cup of granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.

Step 3

Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 0.25 teaspoon salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until well combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 6

Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 7

With a fork, gently press down on each ball of dough, creating a crisscross pattern.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 11

Once the cookies are completely cool, spread 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to create a sandwich.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
