Time 17m

Yield 10 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup creamy peanut butter
⅔ cup maple syrup
1 cup all purpose flour
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
water, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or use a nonstick pan).
  • Make the cookies: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and flour with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
  • Roll the dough into ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) balls. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet, placing 2 balls side-by-side for each cookie. Use a fork to create a criss-cross pattern on top of the cookies to create peanut shapes.
  • Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, or until edges are starting to turn golden brown. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the frosting: In a large bowl, whip the peanut butter and butter with an electric hand mixer until combined. Add the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add a bit of water as needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Spread a little bit of the frosting on the underside of 1 of the cookie, then sandwich with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and frosting.
  • Enjoy!

BOUCHON BAKERY'S 'NUTTER BUTTERS'



Bouchon Bakery's 'Nutter Butters' image

This peanut butter sandwich cookie is a smaller version of the gargantuan homemade Nutter Butters served at Bouchon Bakery, Thomas Keller's restaurant in the Time Warner Center. It is pure peanut sophistication; two crunchy, crisp peanut butter cookies filled with pillowy peanut-butter frosting. These cookies spread a fair amount while baking, so be sure to give them plenty of room on the baking sheet and let them cool and firm up before filling. (After reading through some of the reader comments, we retested the original recipe and decided to make the cookies smaller and double the filling. We've edited the below recipe to reflect those changes.)

Time 1h15m

Yield About 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 pound/454 grams (4 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup/180 grams creamy peanut butter, preferably Skippy
1 cup/201 grams granulated sugar
1 cup/200 grams firmly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup/47 grams coarsely chopped peanuts
2 1/2 cups/223 grams quick-cooking oats
1/2 pound/227 grams (2 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
1 cup/270 grams creamy peanut butter, preferably Skippy
3 1/3 cups/410 grams confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and baking soda; set aside. Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and peanut butter. Add sugars and beat at medium speed for 4 minutes, scraping down bowl twice.
  • At low speed, add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix at low speed until well combined, scraping down bowl as necessary. Add peanuts and oats, and mix well. Using an ice cream scoop 1½ inches in diameter (about 1 heaping tablespoon), place balls of dough on parchment-lined baking sheets at least 2 ½ inches apart. Bake until cookies have spread and turned golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool and firm up on the baking sheet, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely before filling.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until very smooth.
  • To assemble cookies, spread a thin layer (about 1/8 inch) on underside of a cookie. Sandwich with another cookie, being careful not break them. Repeat.

Number Of Ingredients 17

INGREDIENTS
FOR THE COOKIES
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 c. Butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 c. smooth peanut butter
FOR THE FILLING
1 c. creamy peanut butter
5 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla and peanut butter and beat until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined. Roll dough into oblong balls. Make a criss-cross pattern by pressing into the dough with the tines of a fork, and then pinch slightly in the center to create an indent. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Let cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Make filling: In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter and butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla and salt and beat until evenly combined. Spread an even layer of frosting on one cookie and sandwich another on top. Repeat until all cookies are filled. Serve.
