Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300° F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner and set aside.
  • Cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing until combined.
  • Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Mix until fully incorporated. The dough will be extremely sticky.
  • Use a 2 tsp cookie scoop to portion out the dough into equal portions and arrange on your cookie sheet. The cookies will flatten and spread. If you do not have a 2 tsp cookie scoop, you’ll want to refrigerate the cookie dough for 15-20 minutes to make the cookie dough easier to handle.
  • Bake at 300° for 15-17 minutes or until they have flattened and the edges are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan completely.While the cookies are cooling, make the peanut butter filling.

Peanut Butter Filling

  • First, combine the peanut butter and butter until smooth by either using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer.
  • Add the powdered sugar to the bowl and mix until well combined and thick.
  • Slowly add in the heavy whipping cream, mixing until you have a thick but creamy consistency.
  • Either place in a piping bag or drop a small amount of the filling onto the bottom of one cooled cookie and then sandwich the filling with another cookie to create your nutter butter sandwich.
  • Repeat until all sandwiches are made. Enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
