Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, 0.5 tsp baking soda, and 0.25 tsp salt.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, beat 0.5 cup softened butter, 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter, and 0.5 cup brown sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Beat in 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract until combined.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Dough will be soft.

  6. 6

    Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Flatten each with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.

  7. 7

    Bake until edges are lightly golden, 10-12 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. 8

    Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
