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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Enjoy your Homemade Nutter Butter Cookies!

Notes

  • For best results, use smooth peanut butter.
