Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
Filling: buttercream, marshmallow fluff, Nutella, or jam
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Mix in the egg until fully incorporated.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
-
Roll dough into 1-tablespoon balls and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly using a fork in a crisscross pattern.
-
Bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Spread a layer of your favorite filling on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with another.
Notes
-
Use natural peanut butter for a slightly less sweet, nuttier flavor.
-
A cookie scoop helps with consistent cookie sizes.
-
Store cookies in an airtight container for 4 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
-
Try different fillings—classic vanilla frosting, chocolate ganache, or even strawberry jam!
