Yield 24 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup quick cooking oats
FILLING:
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar, or more if needed
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add egg and beat well. 2. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add these dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix in. Add oatmeal and stir in. Chill dough in the refrigerator to firm the dough for easier handling, or even quicker, in the freezer at least 30 minutes. 3. Scoop a rounded teaspoon of dough, and roll into a 1-inch ball, using lightly floured hands if dough is sticky. Place on a cookie sheet lightly sprayed with vegetable oil spray. Continue with remainder of dough, making uniform balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the sheet. Lightly press down on each ball with floured fingers, making 1/4 inch thick cookies. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 minutes, or until cookies are a light brown. 4. To Make Filling: Cream 3 tablespoons butter with the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, and the milk. Add more sugar or milk as needed. Put the filling into a pastry bag or large ziplock bag (cutting the corner off to make a make-shift pastry bag) and squeeze filling onto half of the cooled cookies, then top with the other halves to form sandwiches. Enjoy!
