Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Cookie scoop
  • baking sheet
  • piping bag

Ingredients
  

for the cookies

  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter recommended Jiff or Skippy
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

for the peanut butter filling

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • cup powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar on low speed until combined. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add in the egg and vanilla. Beat to combine.
  • Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, and beat on low speed until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Use a 1 ounce cookie scoop to portion out equal amounts of dough. Shape the dough balls into flat oval discs, spacing them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Use a fork to make crosshatches on each circular end of the dough.
  • Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are set and firm around the edges but still somewhat soft in the middle. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
  • While the cookies cool, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of the heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until smooth. If the filling feels too thick, add the last tablespoon of cream.
  • Match up the cooled cookies into pairs. Pipe about two teaspoons worth of filling onto the bottom of one half and sandwich together with the other half. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer crunchier cookies, bake the cookies for 2 to 3 more minutes.
