Soft Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Enjoy the ideal pairing of soft and creamy peanut butter sandwich cookies. A delicious peanut butter filling is sandwiched between two tender cookies, creating a wonderful balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line baking sheets with parchment paper

In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls

Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until fully coated

Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them

Use a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
