Ingredients: 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder,3/4 teaspoon of baking soda,1/2 cup of packed brown sugar,1/2 cup of packed brown sugar,1/2 cup softened butter,1 cup of confectioners’ sugar,1 egg,1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour,1/2 cup of granulated sugar,1/3 cup of heavy cream,1/2 cup of peanut butter,1 cup of peanut butter, creamy,1/4 teaspoon of salt,5 tablespoons of unsalted butter (at room temperature),3/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Mix ingredients for cookie dough: combine sugars, peanut butter, butter and egg in large bowl.Stir in the remaining ingredients to complete the cookie dough (flour, baking soda & powder, and salt).Cover and refrigerate dough for about two hours (until firm).
- Heat oven to 375F.Shape the cookie dough into 1 1/4-inch balls, placing on an ungreased cookie sheet, about three inches apart.Flatten with a fork that is covered in sugar, creating a pattern of your choosing (the crisscross pattern is popular)
- Bake for about 9 or 10 minutes, until cookies are light golden brown.While baking, make the peanut butter filling: Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt on the medium-low speed, scraping the sides down with a rubber spatula, until creamy.
- Add the heavy cream & beat on high until the mixture becomes light & smooth.Refrigerate for a couple minutes if you'd like. (Use your judgement depending on how far along your cookies are)Once cookies are done, remove from oven and cool directly on cookie sheet for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
- Spread a generous tablespoon or two of the peanut butter filling on a cookie and sandwich with another for a deliciously decadent peanut butter cookie sandwich!!
