Equipment

Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • 1 cup peanut butter smooth
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • chocolate chips melted, optional for topping

Filling

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter smooth
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and peanut butter until combined.
  • Add in the egg, vanilla and salt. If your peanut butter is salted, omit the salt.
  • Scoop the dough into one inch balls. Roll into a log, then flatten with a fork to make criss cross marks. Pinch the middle together so it has a peanut shape.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the ingredients for the filling.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, add a spoonful of the filling to one cookie and press another on top. Repeat with all cookies. Enjoy!
