Description
Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies are delightful treats that combine the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter with the sweetness of cookies, featuring a creamy filling sandwiched between two soft, chewy cookies.
Ingredients
- Peanut butter: 1 cup (creamy or crunchy)
- All-purpose flour: 1 ½ cups
- Granulated sugar: ½ cup
- Brown sugar: ½ cup (packed)
- Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: ¼ teaspoon
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Egg: 1 large
- Chocolate chips: 1 cup (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.

- Drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
