Ingredients
- 125 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 60 grams Powdered (confectioner's) sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 180 grams Plain (all-purpose) flour
- 45 grams Cornstarch
- 60 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 50 grams Unsalted butter (for filling), softened
- 100 grams Powdered (confectioner's) sugar (for filling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F), and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Sift the plain flour and cornstarch into the bowl, and gradually mix until the dough comes together.
Step 5
Take small portions of dough (about 2 teaspoons each) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking trays, leaving space between each piece.
Step 6
Use a fork to gently flatten each ball of dough, creating a lined imprint on the top.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 8
To make the filling, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Step 9
Once the cookies have cooled, spread a generous amount of peanut butter filling on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie (flat sides facing in).
Step 10
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling, and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
