Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls, roll into balls, and flatten with a fork. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
For the filling, beat together peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once cookies are cool, spread filling on one cookie and sandwich with another.

Notes

Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.

Store filled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.

For a softer or crunchier cookie, adjust baking time or flour amount accordingly.
