Indulge in these delicious Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies that are perfect for any occasion. These cookies are rich, buttery, and filled with a creamy peanut butter frosting that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Here’s how to make these delightful treats:

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Form Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets and flatten them slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until combined. Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the filling reaches a spreadable consistency.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of filling on the bottom of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
