Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon, mix until the ingredients form a smooth dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add a little more powdered sugar if needed for consistency.
Sprinkle a clean countertop or a sheet of parchment paper with a light dusting of powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
Place the dough on the prepared surface and, using a rolling pin, roll it out into a rectangular shape about 1/4-inch thick.
Spread the peanut butter evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a small border (about 1/2-inch) all the way around.
Gently begin rolling the dough from one of the longer edges into a tight log, similar to making a jelly roll.
Once rolled, wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and slice the roll into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
