Bouchon Bakery's 'Nutter Butters' image

This peanut butter sandwich cookie is a smaller version of the gargantuan homemade Nutter Butters served at Bouchon Bakery, Thomas Keller's restaurant in the Time Warner Center. It is pure peanut sophistication; two crunchy, crisp peanut butter cookies filled with pillowy peanut-butter frosting. These cookies spread a fair amount while baking, so be sure to give them plenty of room on the baking sheet and let them cool and firm up before filling. (After reading through some of the reader comments, we retested the original recipe and decided to make the cookies smaller and double the filling. We've edited the below recipe to reflect those changes.)

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield About 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 pound/454 grams (4 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup/180 grams creamy peanut butter, preferably Skippy
1 cup/201 grams granulated sugar
1 cup/200 grams firmly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup/47 grams coarsely chopped peanuts
2 1/2 cups/223 grams quick-cooking oats
1/2 pound/227 grams (2 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
1 cup/270 grams creamy peanut butter, preferably Skippy
3 1/3 cups/410 grams confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and baking soda; set aside. Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and peanut butter. Add sugars and beat at medium speed for 4 minutes, scraping down bowl twice.
  • At low speed, add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix at low speed until well combined, scraping down bowl as necessary. Add peanuts and oats, and mix well. Using an ice cream scoop 1½ inches in diameter (about 1 heaping tablespoon), place balls of dough on parchment-lined baking sheets at least 2 ½ inches apart. Bake until cookies have spread and turned golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool and firm up on the baking sheet, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely before filling.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until very smooth.
  • To assemble cookies, spread a thin layer (about 1/8 inch) on underside of a cookie. Sandwich with another cookie, being careful not break them. Repeat.
