Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter (for filling)
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and creamy peanut butter (0.5 cup) to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the quick-cooking oats using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Use the back of a fork to slightly flatten each dough ball to about 1/2-inch thickness.
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 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the peanut butter filling. In a medium bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, creamy peanut butter (0.5 cup), unsalted butter (0.25 cup), and milk until smooth and fluffy.
Once the cookies have completely cooled, spread a generous amount of the peanut butter filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Place another cookie on top to form a sandwich and gently press them together.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
