Ingredients
For the Cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on each cookie, flattening them slightly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the filling on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
- Enjoy: Serve and enjoy your homemade Copycat Nutter Butter Cookies!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
Ensure the cookies are completely cool before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or frozen for up to three months.
