Description
Delicious homemade Nutter Butter cookies filled with creamy peanut butter filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Use smooth peanut butter for best results)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (Ensure it is at room temperature)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg (At room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (for the filling)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Add both sugars and mix until combined. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until the dough is well-combined.
- Using your hands, roll small pieces of dough into oval shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Use a fork to create a crisscross design on top.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the filling ingredients until smooth. Once the cookies are cooled, spread a generous layer of filling on one cookie and top it with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Enjoy your Homemade Nutter Butter Cookies!
Notes
- For best results, use smooth peanut butter.
