Ingredients
– 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup quick-cooking oats
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
– 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
1-Preheat Oven: preheating your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper; this little step keeps everything from sticking and makes cleanup easy.
2-Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy thatβs the base of your dough coming together.
3-Add Dry Ingredients: Next, add the dry ingredients to the mix: stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and quick-cooking oats until everything is well combined. This creates a dough thatβs just right not too sticky, not too dry for shaping your cookies.
4-Bake Cookies: Scoop the dough onto the baking sheet in even spoonfuls, leaving space for them to spread as they bake. Pop them in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden, then let them cool on a wire rack to set perfectly.
5-Prepare Filling: Once cooled, itβs time for the fun part: preparing the filling by blending unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, sifted powdered sugar, and heavy cream until creamy and spreadable.
6-Assemble Sandwiches: Sandwich two cookies together with a dollop of this filling for that irresistible center.
