PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH COOKIES



Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies image

A very rich, very addicting cookie. Tastes best when cookies are stored in a tight container with several pieces of bread at the bottom. You may need a little extra milk to get the filling to the right consistency.

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Sandwich Cookie Recipes

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup butter flavored shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, 1 cup creamy peanut butter and white and brown sugars. Add vanilla and then eggs, one at a time. Beat well after each addition. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add slowly to creamy mixture.
  • Shape into 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Flatten balls with a fork.
  • Bake for 7-8 minutes depending on size (I tend to keep a close eye on them and remove them as soon as they start to get golden. This helps to make them chewy.) Cool on wire racks.
  • To Make the filling: Combine 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl adding enough milk to make for a creamy, frosting like texture. Spread frosting on one cookie and top off to make "sandwich".

PEANUT BUTTER COCONUT CREAM COOKIE SANDWICHES

Categories     Bake     Cookies     Dessert     Kid-Friendly     Soy Free     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Vegetarian     Vegan

Yield Makes 8 cookie sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 15

Peanut Butter Coconut Cream:
1 cup Medjool dates (about 10 dates), pitted
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
⅔ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
Cookies:
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
½ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup oat flour
1 cup almond flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the Peanut Butter Coconut Cream:
  • In a high-speed blender, combine the dates, peanut butter, and coconut. Blend together on high speed, gradually adding in the almond milk, ¼ cup at a time (you may not need it all). The mixture should be very creamy. Continue to blend and scrape down the sides of the blender until that smoothness is achieved. Cover and set aside.
  • Make the cookies:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix together until smooth.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Combine the flour mixture and the peanut butter mixture, and then add the almond milk to help everything come together. The dough should be pliable and easy to roll into balls.
  • Create 1- to 2-inch balls of the dough and place them some distance apart on the lined cookie sheet. Flatten the cookies gently with your hands until they are ¼ to ½ inch thick. (You want them fairly thin to create the sandwiches.) Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until the cookies have risen, and are golden around the edges. Then let them cool on the sheet slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the cookies are completely cooled, take 2 equal-size cookies and flip them over so the flat side (the bottom) is facing up.
  • Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons or more (depending on how thick you want the filling!) of the Peanut Butter Coconut Cream on one of the cookies and place the second cookie, flat side down, right on top of it. Do this for the rest of the batch until all the cookie sandwiches are assembled. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, before serving.

This is a super cookie devised by Linda Weber, Fine Cooking, issue #43. She suggests using a smooth peanut butter. The 'stuff' in the middle is divine!

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 40m

Yield 18 2 1/2 inch sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 ounces all-purpose flour
2 ounces cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces unsalted butter, completely softened at room temperature
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 ounces unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup coarsely chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
1/4 cup coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate or 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • To make the cookies: Heat the oven to 350°F
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment. In a medium bowl, sift together the two flours, baking soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg; continue creaming until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes with an electric mixer (longer by hand). Stir in the flour mixture by hand just until it's incorporated; don't over mix or the cookies will be tough. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter, spaced about 2-inches apart, onto the lined baking sheets. With floured fingers, flatten each dab of batter into a 2-inch round.
  • Bake until the cookies are puffed and golden, 12- 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets if needed for even baking. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool.
  • While the cookies cool, make the filling: In a small bowl, cream the confectioners' sugar, butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add the heavy cream; continue creaming until smooth and fluffy. Stir in the chopped peanuts and chocolate.
  • To assemble: Transfer the cooled cookies to a work surface, flipping half of them over. With an offset spatula or a butter knife, spread a scant teaspoon of filling onto each turned-over cookie. Set another wafer on top of each filled cookie, pressing gently to spread the filling. Store sealed at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES



Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches image

While living in the San Francisco Bay Area, one of my favorite nostalgic desserts were ice cream sandwiches. In my opinion, the best ones are sandwiched with slightly warm cookies, so it always feels like you are eating freshly baked cookies. I am recreating that experience in this recipe with decadent chocolate cookies that have a gooey crunchy peanut butter filling.

Provided by Lasheeda Perry

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 ice cream sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon coffee extract
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon whole milk
1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon fleur de sel
1 pint ice cream, slightly softened

Steps:

  • Using a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop the peanut butter into 12 mounds onto a small baking pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are rounded on top and no bigger than the circumference of a quarter. Freeze until frozen solid, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Combine the butter, both sugars, and cocoa powder in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream on low speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stop and scrape the bowl. Whisk the egg with the coffee extract in a small bowl. While the mixer is running on low speed, add the egg mixture and mix just until incorporated. Stop and scrape the bowl.
  • Stir together the flour, cornstarch and baking soda in another small bowl. Add it to the stand mixer and mix on low speed until incorporated. Stop and scrape the bowl. Mix briefly until all of the dry ingredients have been fully incorporated. Add the milk and chocolate chips. Mix to combine.
  • Scoop the dough into 12 mounds, each 3 tablespoons (1.5 ounces), on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 25 minutes.
  • Position racks in the upper and middle thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the cookie dough and peanut butter from the freezer. Flatten 1 of the cookies with the palms of your hands, place 1 mound of peanut butter in the center then wrap the dough around it until fully enclosed in a ball of cookie dough. Repeat with the remaining dough and peanut butter. Please work swiftly before the peanut butter gets soft. If so, return the peanut butter to the freezer.
  • Divide the dough among 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper (6 cookies on each). Sprinkle with the fleur de sel.
  • Bake on the upper and lower racks for 10 minutes. Rotate the sheet pans and bake 4 to 5 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet pans for 15 minutes.
  • Sandwich the cookies with ice cream and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps ensure that the cookies are all the same size, which will help them bake evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them: This will help prevent the filling from making the cookies soggy.
