Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 whole large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat in 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 7

Gently flatten each ball with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before filling.

Step 9

To make the filling, beat together 0.5 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.

Step 10

Spread a generous layer of the filling onto the flat side of a cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store the sandwich cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
