These cookies are incredibly tasty. I made them last weekend for Mother's Day and for a party Jake and I went to. The peanut butter cookie is soft and chewy and the filling is velvety peanut butter goodness. After the cream filling is mixed, tasting the beaters is a must. But be warned, it will be very hard to stop at just the beaters. These were a crowd pleaser for sure.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies
from All Recipes, as seen on Annie's Eats
Makes approx. 18 sandwich cookies
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE COOKIES
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temp.
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup quick-cooking oats
FOR THE CREAMY
3 tbsp unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tbsp. heavy cream
DIRECTIONS
FOR THE COOKIES
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir well with a fork. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, peanut butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Blend in the egg and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Stir in the oats until evenly blended.Use a small cookie dough scoop to portion out the dough (about 2 tsp.), rolling each portion into a ball, and place them on the prepared cookie sheet, a couple inches apart.
Bake about 10 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through baking. The cookies will be light golden brown and slightly puffed. Let cool for one minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
FOR THE FILLING
Cream the butter and peanut butter. Slowly add the sugar, then mix in the heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
Pair the cookies by size. Using a pastry bag fitted with a plain round tip, pipe filling onto one cookie, pressing the second cookie down to spread the filling to the edges.
