Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for the filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on the baking sheets for five minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, mix powdered sugar with a hint of peanut butter for the filling and spread it between two cookies.
