Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together baking soda, salt, and 2 cups flour; set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until light and fluffy; beat in egg. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture, beating just until combined (do not overmix).

Form dough into two 8-inch-long rectangular logs. Wrap each log in waxed or parchment paper; freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. With a sharp knife, slice dough 1/4 inch thick; place on two baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake until cookies are puffed, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to wire racks; let cool.

Make filling: In a saucepan, whisk milk and 2 tablespoons flour over medium until thickened, 2 minutes; let cool. In a bowl, using mixer, beat together 1/2 cup peanut butter and granulated sugar; beat in cooled milk mixture. Spread smooth sides of half the cookies with 1 tablespoon filling; sandwich with remaining cookies.

                I just baked these. The cookie part is pretty dull and the filling is WAY too thin to create a sturdy filling that looks like the picture. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

                I ended up overmixing this as I felt it was the only way to get all the ingredients to mix properly- this meant I had a crumb-like misture that I then had to press into a dough which took a lot of work.
                They were delicious though!

                I spread some with leftover chocolate icing and the peanut butter icing. I made others by mixing the peanut butter icing with some strawberry jam. They were all very yummy.

                Try dipping them in chocolate, I bet that would be good.

                These cookies are wonderful. My husband is a cookie monster and peanut butter is his very favorite He loves these! A little more trouble than regular PB cookies, but they are worth it.

                marycandle - if I am not too late, place the dough on waxed paper or plastic, roll it in a regular log and then shape it into a brick.

                There must be an error in this printing.....the slices would have to be 1/4 inch thick.

                Very addicting. I accidently put all the flour in the cookie dough and it was still good, but can't wait to try them out the right way. So note: the flour goes in the dough AND the filling!

                Incredibly delicious.  They get softer and yummier on day 2 - if they happen to last that long.

                These are insanely good.  My new mission in life is to make these cookies.  My filling came out much creamier than pictured and there was plenty to fill all the cookies and then some.
