How to Make Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

1. Make the Cookie Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

2. Shape & Bake the Cookies

1. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
2. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Make the Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, beat together peanut butter and butter until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, then beat until fluffy. If the filling is too thick, add a little more cream.

4. Assemble the Sandwich Cookies

1. Spread or pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the bottom of one cookie.
2. Place another cookie on top and gently press to create a sandwich.
3. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
